Buy cialis, I filed comments in the Net Neutrality proceeding.   From the first page:

* * *

I offer these comments to make three points.  First, there have been
tions in the media and elsewhere that the FCC’s proposed Net
Neutrality rules represent a radical departure in American federal
communications policy.  I’d suggest, from a historic perspective, that the
FCC’s Net Neutrality rule is rather mild.  In particular, it is far less
aggressive than the anti-discrimination laws imposed on carriers under the
Cleveland or Taft Administrations.

Second, buy cialis delivery, Cialis sale, many critics of the Proposed Rules have blurred the crucial
distinction between regulation of the Internet and the regulation of those
that carry Internet traffic.  I point out only that the latter, carriers, order cialis online, αγοράσετε cialis, have
always been subject to regulation, as we shall, Utah UT , Billige cialis apotek, historically much stricter
regulation than that found in the Proposed Rules.

Third, lowest price cialis, Idaho ID , I write to suggest that the FCC’s stated goal of protecting the
Internet as a platform for free speech will depend on how rigorously it
implements a ban on not only the blocking of content, but also on demands
for “Internet Payola.”, cheap cialis online legally. Kentucky KY Ky. . Order cialis no prescription. Ordering cialis from canada. Rabatt kaufen cialis. Buy cialis without prescription. Buy cialis pills.

Order Cheap Cialis Online

A brief comment on a paper entitled

Why the iPhone Won’t Last Forever and
What the Government Should Do to Promote its Successor
Order cheap cialis online, Robert Hahn and Hal J. Singer

This paper argues that the iPhone, cialis without prescription, Maryland MD Md. , while popular, will be replaced, Nevada NV Nev. , Cheapest cialis in the world, and therefore that "regulators should be very reluctant to intervene in the mobile handset market."

What I don't understand about this paper is that it takes an undeniably true fact -- that the iPhone won't last forever, and ties it to a conclusion that is much less clear, cialis pills, Price of cialis, and, in fact, cheap cialis online cheap, Acheter cialis bon marché, close to assumed.

The authors argue that exclusive contracts are efficient and promote market entry.  Why?   Essentially, Maine ME Me. , Cialis cod, because they exist.   They believe, based mainly on the evidence of the Apple - AT&T deal, order cialis, Ordering cialis overnight delivery, that handset producers seek out exclusive contracts themselves.

I'm going to keep this comment brief, Osta cialis, Köpa cialis, but my main comment is that it is hard to generalize from the fact that something exists to the idea that it is a good thing.  It is the same old problem with the efficient market hypothesis, and also goes by the name the naturalist fallacy.  This paper comes close to assuming its answer based on current conditions, bestill cialis online.

The fact that the carriers have a near-total lock on the retailing of phones, and that it can be hard even for a company like Palm to get a carrier to carry a new handset has an obvious effect on what handset manufacturers do.   What they do now isn't necessarily what they want to do.  It is what they have to do to reach customers.

It is harder still to generalize from Apple-AT&T to anything.   Apple, or more precisely Jobs, has a preference for closed systems that is not shared by other device manufacturers.   The fact that he sought out an exclusive contract does not mean, by itself, that there are, as a general matter "significant efficiencies associated with exclusive agreements."

I agree with the argument that the iPhone won't last forever.   It is as vulnerable as the Mac was in about 1986 or so.   But that doesn't tell us much about whether wireless carterphone is better or worse for consumers and the nation over the long run.

Buy Cheap Levitra Online

Monday, December 15th, 2008

There is a story Buy cheap levitra online, in today's Wall Street Journal about Google's supposed abandonment of Net Neutrality principles.

As someone who dabbles in journalism now and then, Kjøp Discount levitra, Köpa billiga levitra, I can see the obvious temptation that shapes this story.  It's the Google - Heart of Darkness plot -- Google, the company that does no evil, buy levitra, Osta alennus levitra, turns to the dark side.   It's a tempting story.  I've even written versions of it myself.

On the other hand, you actually have to have the goods to have a story.  You need a Kurtz.  And as much as the story tries, ordering levitra from canada, Cheap generic levitra, there isn't one here.

What the WSJ is on about is content caching; something that's been going on for more than a decade.  If you have billions of users, order levitra without prescription, Iowa IA , like Google or even the WSJ, you need lots of cached copies of your content for it to deliver fast.  If you are a personal web-site (like this one) you don't need caching.    Caching is one of the advantanges money can buy, levitra generic, Order levitra online, but no one has ever suggested its an unfair advantage.

Nor is this anything new, αγοράσετε levitra έκπτωση, Billiga levitra apotek, even co-location.   AT&T, for example, Om levitra online, Order levitra online, has been offering services like this since at least 2000.      Its never been part of the principle net neutrality debate, Maryland MD Md. .

The emptiest part of the WSJ piece are the insinuations that Obama's positions are changing.  While I cannot speak on behalf of the Obama team, there is just no evidence to suggest that.  None at all.   Except for a random quote from Rick Whitt saying that the Obama team has been quiet.  Well, more like, they are busy with other stuff -- caching policy is priority # 8931 at best.

Cialis

Cialis, In my chapter on radio, one of the most interesting, though obviously not in a good way, theorists of broadcast radio is Joseph Goebbels, the old Minister of Enlightenment and Propaganda for the German government in the 1930s.
Here are his views on the possibility of objective, Mississippi MS Miss., Comprare cialis, neutral broadcasting --


The radio must subordinate itself to the goals which the Government of the National Revolution has set itself. The notion that the work of radio can remain an end in itself cannot be refuted enough.

There is nothing at all that is not tendentious, cialis samples. Cialis brand, The discovery of the principle of absolute objectivity is the privilege of German professors - and I do not believe that university professors make history...


In other words, the Nazis believed that everything was necessary partisan; aiming for objectivity or neutrality in any form a dream of university professors.  The rejected idea of a communications network as "an end in itself" is interestingly, acheter cialis bon marché, Indiana IN Ind., both the idea of common carriage and the founding principle of the internet's design.

In his best quote of all, Goebbels liked to say of broadcasting that it is simply:


the spiritual weapon of the totalitarian state.

In the paper Wireless Carterfone Cialis pharmacy, I highlighted a policy that seem destined to get Verizon in trouble: its practice of deciding who gets to send mass text messages. The policy sets Verizon up for obvious violations of Net Neutrality.

Reality caught up as Verizon is now facing criticism for blocking mass text messages from NARA, cialis uk, Viager same cialis, Pro-Choice America, who Verizon's policy blocked as too controversial.

Ostaa Halvalla Cialis

Ostaa halvalla cialis, Declan McCullough, my friend and sometimes mentor in photography, has a recent story called

 TEN THINGS THAT KILLED NETWORK NEUTRALITY

While I appreciate Declan's taste for drama, the premise of the story is completely false.  Declan seems to believe that, if there aren't people marching on the streets, and if the rules aren't being broken, that "Net Neutrality" is dead.

The truth is that AT&T is currently operating under Net Neutrality rules -- and in effect, the whole industry has been abiding by net neutrality rules for the entire last year.

That's why there's no protests - the carriers aren't misbehaving -- though recent shut-offs by the cable companies may be a problem.

This example may make it clearer.  Say that, for some reason, everyone began obeying the speed limits.  Declan might say "the speed limits are dead" because no one is enforcing the law.  But the better view is that the rule isn't being violated.

There are a mix of de facto and de jure net neutrality rules in this country that are currently being obeyed. The reason that there's no protests is because, αγοράσετε cialis, Seattle cialis, in effect, the net neutrality advocates won, check previous order of cialis. Kaufen cialis,

I've decided to post the original paper I wrote on Net Neutrality but never published in original form.

It was called A Proposal for Network Neutrality and I wrote it in the summer of 2002.

Later I took parts of it and turned it into another paper called Köpa cialis online, Network Neutrality, Broadband Discrimination

Some of my ideas have changed since I wrote the 2002 paper, but I thought maybe it might be useful for anyone who is doing research into this area.
