monopolies can't exist without regulation! Q.E.D. Oh, wait, got my

Larry is confused. He can claim he is not, but posting to NANOG does
not change the facts. Then again, just because I posted to NANOG
doesn't prove I'm right either. Worst of all, this thread is pretty
non-operational now.
So believe as you please. I'm going to believe that the FCC allowing
monopolies (regulated or not) to charge content providers as they
please will be bad for me and about 300 million other Americans.
Besides, what has this to do with my original questions?
