>*Yehuda, when you republish something without direct comment -- you adopt it. 
Either what you publish is worth reading and edited and remarkably commented on
or it is important by itself -- republishing someone Else's work is making the
news article itself important and not the topic. "Katie Couric" for
president???

Granted Eric,

There is a lot of 'mindless rhetorical' being exchanged between:
AT&T, Google, Apple et.al., 

I'm just posting an article of the Juicy Net-Poly-Couture, as it is.
Whether or not there is a "Situation" in the 'CPSR Situation Room'
is debatable, and is of no consequence.
[I'm not Wolf Blitzer launching a 3rd World War, just so I can report on it on
my own Fox Network Situation Room - Ha Ha]

There is one tid-bit I felt worthy within the news piece:

...
As communications services increasingly migrate to broadband Internet-based
platforms, we can now see the power of Internet-based applications providers 
to act as gatekeepers who can threaten the “free and open” Internet.
Google’s double-standard for “openness” – where Google does what it
wants while other providers are subject to Commission regulations – is
plainly inconsistent with the goal of preserving a “free and open” Internet
ecosystem. ...

For those of you outside the United States, I have a question.
How do you think Google's voip phone services will effect the buisness
landscape of Your Countrys' phone system?
