I've grown to hate the word deregulation. Every time the political a$$holes have said deregulation was good for us, we got screwed big time. Look at what deregulating the gas and oil industry did. We saw prices go from $0.30/gal to over $2.00/gal in just a few months. look at the prices now in the telephone industry. I live in Texas and these crooked politicians have deregulated nearly everything, which is political-speak for "bend over consumer because we are getting paid off by big industry and don't care a thing for your rights." Anytime consumers file a claim in Texas against big oil, big pharma, big insurance, etc., the state sides with the big a$$holes against the consumers. There is an old saying that no one wants the government nosing into their business until they need them, then they want them there right then and in big force! My fear is that they will allow a few big streamers to control the bulk of the bandwidth, then the rest of the net will suffer. I say regulate the hell out of big streamers like NetCrap and HuluPutz and all those darn telecomms to keep them from dominating and controlling the net.
