Telco Pro and Con

David Isenberg has published another issue of his SmartLetter.

Article 1: More states are barring public ownership of telecommunications. This is a bad thing.

Article 2. Dewayne Hendricks and David Reed (an all-star cast!) on packet relay radio as a way to get around the impending 802.11 spectrum mashing.

Article. Mini-Article 3: Steve Talbot on Evil.

This is important stuff even if — especially if — like me you find these issues more than a little confusing. My rule of thumb: Isenberg is right.

Not that George Gilder thinks so. Gilder, the swami of telecosms, goes after the article Isenberg and I wrote together with the subtlety of a velociraptor in a bunny farm. Unfortunately, he’s locked his ideas into his $600/year newsletter so you’ll just have to believe me when I tell you that he’s wrong. (Yo, George, how about publishing the article on your site for free so we can have a decent conversation about it?)
