Just a thought... (Score 1)

Most of the articles I've read today on this post have been quite informative. There are definitely some very clever people on here with some insight into this issue. My opinion of this matter is that these telco's are trying to hold onto the dying dinosaur of a business model that they have, and are trying to take a piece of the pie.

What I really want to say, is that in order to actually have legislations and laws passed that are in favor of intelligently managing the internet, we need to get some people who actually know what they are talking about on this issue. Trained, highly skilled techs. Rather than a rich politician who is merely looking for bedtime favors from telco's. I don't claim to have any answers, but I know there are some out there who do, and none of them are in power. So I think as one of the largest technical communities with (in my opinion) a decent amount of credibility, some of you extremely intelligent /.ers should look into becoming politicians. Or if you know of any that actually know what they are talking about, let myself and others know so we can show them our support.

I would like to thank you all for these interesting posts, I do my best to spread the word around about this subject, and post links to /. posts on it whenever I can. You all have some very interesting insights on this matter.
