My New Op-ed: "The Internet as the Post Office?"
I produced a new, brief, and different op-ed against the FCC's proposed net neutrality rules that ran in BigGovernment.com today, that employs a new "delivery" metaphor that I believe most people will easily grasp and find compelling.
The Internet as the Post Office?
Why force the private Internet to be as inefficient as the old public post office? For the first time, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) plans to regulate how private companies can deliver the quadrillions of broadband Internet packets that are sent over the Internet every day.
Americans know from experience that private companies competing for customers deliver better service than Government. Who thinks the Government can do a better job than private companies in designing, building, and managing broadband Internet networks? Who thinks the Government can run the Internet better, faster, cheaper, and more innovatively than private networks do now?
