> “As a professor of both banking regulation and technology policy,  
> there are striking similarities between the anti-regulation  
> positions of John McCain in these two key sectors. Under the  
> pressure of the current financial crisis, McCain has recently backed  
> off of his laissez faire positions and admitted that the government  
> must play a greater role in housing and financial markets. His  
> unrepentant positions on technology policy, however, reveal the  
> intellectually flawed approach to government regulation that has led  
> both to the financial mess and to mistakes in technology issues such  
> as broadband deployment, net neutrality, and privacy online. . . .”
