Just because you're paranoid...

I find it interesting that my most recent post, Net Neutrality is the Wrong Frame, has excited three random anonymous strangers to go to the trouble of creating brand new blogger accounts in order to post comments which can be read as supporting the telcos battle to stop Congress from legislating network neutrality. Call me paranoid, but is this an attempt by paid lobbying activists to make it look as if there is grass roots support for the monopoly telcos? Let me make something clear. I SUPPORT the efforts by congressional leaders to put some controls on the telephone companies. My complaint is that the approach is wrong, not that we don't need government intervention.

"Luv2Box" and "Net Chick" and "SoCal619" - if you want to join the conversation, do the responsible thing and expose your true identities. Join the debate as citizens instead of as anonymous blogger accounts. Otherwise you risk being confused with comment spammers -- in this case perhaps a coordinated attempt by the telcos to make it LOOK like there is actual "grass roots" support for their notion that they should be unregulated monopolies...
