Telecom immunity

Paul:

Correct.  When the anti-trust case was brought against AT&T, I'm told  
that DoD "blocked" it out of concerns that the "old-boy" relationships  
with Ma Bell would be jeopardized.

NSTAC was created to make sure that all the other telecom (and many  
other technology) companies would have a similar commitment.  NSTAC  
has formally brought these companies into national security  
initiatives and projects and is the "grand-daddy" of many other  
similar advisory committees.

I first learned about them when Microsoft was settling its own anti- 
trust case in 2000.  Craig Mundie gave an important speech at NSTAC  
and later joined the committee.
