Lessig On Net Neutrality

nanojath writes "Lessig delivers the final word on net neutrality. Read it 5 times to absorb the densest, most content-rich pronouncement that Wired will deliver in 2007." From the article: "Those who oppose network-neutrality regulation should also oppose... regulation of [municipal broadband,] last-mile broadband's most important competitor. Municipal competition won't kill commercial broadband any more than Linux has killed Windows. Yet it could change the business model of last-mile broadband, just as Linux has changed the business model of Microsoft. If there's going to be a Linux-like miracle to counteract innovation-threatening broadband business models, then, at a minimum, miracles must not be a crime."

Read it 5 times to absorb the densest, most content-rich pronouncement that Wired will deliver in 2007.
This is a dupe, right? I know I've seen it before and can't imagine where else I might have seen it linked. I was going to make a sneering "Well, I'm reading it now for the 2nd time..." but I can't find the first one and figured I'd ask instead.
