Tom Paine, Tom Jefferson, Ben Franklin, and other American revolutionaries would roll over in their graves.They might well do so. They drafted a Constitution that prohibited the taking of property without compensation.The length and artfulness of your argument, Brett, that network neutrality would amount to taking of property stretches the legal understanding of property beyond all reasonable bounds.
My network is property. Period. A taking of my network and its resources without compensation is unconstitutional. And I'm not the only one who has made that argument. Comcast and other providers are already preparing to sue if the FCC attempts to appropriate our bandwidth for P2P -- which, ironically, is overwhelmingly used for criminal activity. --Brett Glass ------------------------------------------- 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
