[governance] Managing the Internet in the Public Interest

[Michael Gurstein]

Thanks David and may I point out that in rather less than a sentence you
manage to be pointless, inaccurate, and (making a) nasty swipe at . (a)
civil society colleague. but I digress.

This certainly seems to be a positive decision, and I welcome it. 

However, regulation like a public utility, and in the public interest, are
not quite the same thing. A good fit for the current US situation (in which
alternative forms of regulation were specifically struck down by the
courts), but regulation like a public utility may not be the best public
interest solution for all nations. 

 

Only one sentence, Michael, and you manage to fit in both an unhelpful
oversimplification of the issue, AND a pointless, inaccurate, and nasty
swipe at your civil society colleagues. Efficient. 

 

Cheers

 

David

Contrary to the position of so much of CS in IG, Mr. Obama appears to be set
on developing a regulatory framework for the US that ensures that the
Internet will operate in the public interest.
