Congress to review Telco Act
Ted's previously posted about the Ed Whitacre comments. Today the Washington Post has a tasty little piece on how Big Telcos are going to take back the Net, and goes into some interesting detail on what it will mean for everything from VoIP to what search engines would perform best.
Now it seems Congress is preparing to take up the matter in coming months.
What's interesting is how much pull a traditional, monied, connected deep-pocketed industry can exert over wave upon unceasing wave of upstarts deploying disruptive technologies.
And gives the lie to what it means to be truly "disruptive."

Of course, the telecom's wouldn't have to jump through the hoops they are jumping through if the startups weren't being "disruptive" -- and the jury (which in this case is customers) is still out on whether telecom will get away with this. I think Google and others should just cut off BellSouth DSL users for a day (or an hour!) and put up the web equivalent of a black armband web page, directing Bell South customers to file a complaint with the company and with the FCC... lets see who wins this.
