McCain on Net Neutrality, Copyright, Iraq
An anonymous reader writes "Sen. John McCain kicked off the All Things Digital conference Tuesday night with some interesting comments about net neutrality among other things. His take: there should be as little government regulation of broadband as possible. The market should be allowed to solve the Net-neutrality issue: 'When you control the pipe you should be able to get profit from your investment.'"
From article:
"internet is so simple even a frog could use it."
Why must article discriminate againt the French ? We are good people. Too much now in the US is anti-French feeling, like "freedom fries". Without France, its hards for US defeat Hitler, and France is a leads computer industry, with programming languages like OCAML, which win most programming contest.
Why the hell don't these free market aficionados also become interested in efficiency.
Who says he isn't?
This is clearly the most efficient way possible of getting a lot of campaign contributions from the big telco/cableco monopolies.

Linux, you magnificent bastard, I read the fucking manual!
But only the bits set to 0. Those are the naught-y bits.
'When you control the pipe you should be able to get profit from your investment.'
When you control the phone lines, you should...er no. Regulated industry and for good historical reasons (antitrust).
When you control the electrical lines...er, no again. Hmmm
When you control the oil...NOW WE'RE TALKING!
Anything is possible given time and money.
or a Republican for higher taxes and more government regulation.
Yeah, we have a word for those - we call them "Republicans".

Who thought John McCain would be in favor of legalizing crack cocaine?!
To repeat a sig that I love, "I'm a fiscal conservative, too bad there's no party for us..."
Given that this is the same guy who doesn't seem to realize that condoms reduce the risk of contracting AIDS why would we expect him to understand the first thing about net neutrality? As lots of people point out, it's incredibly difficult to get someone to understand something when he's being paid by AT&T to not understand it?
Nostalgia's not what it used to be.
You're entirely right. What happened to French people like Napoléon?

I heard the same thing from my gf as she was telling me the various gifts I would be getting her for her birthday.
