Excellent piece by David Spector on why the FCC’s decision on allowing the congealing of all media into one large scab is very bad news for the Internet.

By the way, David thinks he’s arguing against the World of Ends piece that Doc and I wrote, as if we were saying that the Internet will survive all such onslaughts. On the contrary, we wrote the piece precisely because we’re worried about clueless government agencies like the FCC making decisions based on ignorance of how the Net’s value is anchored in its open architecture. We wrote it because we agree with David that the Net is vulnerable.
