Re: [IFWP] European Commission to investigate NSI

Werner,

These are two entirely different topics.  The term
"protectionist" is synonymous with strategic industrial
policy and preservation of domestic markets.

There have been books written on the CEC and
predecessor strategic industrial policy activities
that go back about 125 years in this field.  That's
why y'all have different electrical connectors,
different telephone connectors, different TV
standards, different radio spectrum allocations,
OSI, etc.  Recommended reading is Ronda Crane's MIT
thesis that was published as a popular book in
the 70s.

best,
