Hi, Jon -- If there were many providers of network access, I'd agree with you. The market would allow people who want choices about publishing their own things and accessing any service they want to do that. But in a world of highly constrained network access, where the providers are ganging together to make sure they can monetize their networks, those choices won't be available. So what changes this situation for me is that these network providers aren't just offering services through "their domain," they're mandating them for all users. I'm uncomfortable, as I've said before, with "network neutrality" regulation. It seems pernicious to me (for the reasons you understand!). But there need to be adequate choices of access, including plain-vanilla but highspeed access. Right now, that seems impossible. Susan
