Delayed Remorse?

Om Malik on the FCC's "suddenly competition-happy" Chairman.

Not just broadband. Mobile networks and applications. WiMAX.  Various other telecommunications. We lag the world, and pay more for it.

Oh, sure we have more cable, municipal wi-fi, rural carriers, global players in our hotspots and mobile services than a decade ago, but in a number of ways we are only a step removed from the Ma Bell monopoly we dismantled.

Darn straight, we need Mr. Chairman to be more competition - and consumer - friendly.
