occam's razor? We have government regulations regarding things which look like (and function similarly to) light switches, no? We have government regulations regarding the nature of water and sewer pipes, why not regulations regarding the nature of data pipes?
If / when we get back to the state of "monopoly" on data pipes such as water and sewer are today (I doubt you have little if any choice on where your water comes from or where your sewer goes - hence the regulation), then yes, we will probably end up with such regulation - but will also have the same "choice" of data pipes as we do water pipes today. -- Larry Smith SysAd ECSIS.NET sysad () ecsis net
