- Thriving competition indeed. Unfortunately Erick's statement that "Microsoft killed off Netscape with Internet Explorer" perpetuates the myth the regulators are scared about in the...
- It's clear that you need to brush up on the facts before commenting. No, Level3 is not an ILEC. Qwest is, of course. And, no, Internet access is not at all like POTS. We are, most emphatically,...

- Your issue as I understand it is with Level 3 - are they an ILEC? Isn't Qwest (or a local coop) the ILEC there in Laramie? Two - you provide services a lot like a local exchange - I would guess...

I'm using a Vodafone "You Choose" plan. This gives me 20 anytime minutes per month for $NZ 19.95. I can then bolt on additional packages, such as off-peak minutes and text messaging, for an additional fee per month.
See the following sites for cellular pricing:
Vodafone
Telecom NZ
Note: $NZ 1.00 is roughly $US 0.70 at the moment.

Seriously, however, the net neutrality activists who over-sold their cause so egregiously in the last session of Congress seem to feel compelled to over-sell the over-sold fears by taking it into areas where they don't have a shred of a case. The "Save The Internet" coalition funded by Google (by way of Moveon) is now demanding free broadband for everybody, and here we have Prof. Wu, who actually should know better, taking on the highly-competitive cell phone market.
I suppose this indicates that it's even easier to commit adultery the second time.

If Tim Wu's paper is correct, most of the major wireless carriers will not let you use that unlocked phone on their networks.
