Competition does not police fraud. Claiming to provide "Google" when one provides something else is fraud.

As someone said on another list, we have competition among meat markets in NYC.  Lots.  But we still have laws against 
selling tainted meat.

It really amazes me that there are some "free marketers" who think that the market will prevent crime.  I would suggest 
that those who operate ISPs who defend themselves against "screwing with Internet traffic" by saying, well, there's 
competition out there take a few minutes to clarify their position by posting a response to this.

Dave Farber - you are a free marketeer, so what do you say?
