It’s worth also listening to the audio portions. It gives a good sense on the interplay between the Internet and commercial productions. I appreciate their savvy but we also need to remember that it’s only one way to think about the Internet – there isn’t a sense of the Internet as basic infrastructure. The Internet is such a general concept that it’s all-too-easy to confuse one’s deep insight from a single perspective with understanding. This is the problem with so much of the NN debate and the arcane details of particular protocols as if we could manage the current broadband paths against arbitrary metrics. ------------------------------------------- Archives: http://www.listbox.com/member/archive/247/=now RSS Feed: http://www.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/247/ Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
