This is Xaq, the guy behind the Podcrash. Thanks for posting the link.
Cory is a supporter of Socialized Medicine, it's one issue he and I disagree on.

Right, as I wrote back in February, what's remarkable about Doctorow's support for network neutrality regulation is how lukewarm it has been. In the article Adam linked to, he spends most of his time discussing ways that regulation could backfire. So yes, this counts as a disagreement, but I think it's a relatively minor one. On what other policy issues do we disagree with him?

Tim, in February of last year didn't you say that Doctorow was wrong to say that we ought to put political pressure on Congressmen/candidate to support neutrality? I'm down with Cory's revolt against Virgin and trying to take other consumers with him, but don't get the Hill involved!

Also, I'm sure that Adam has some problems with Cory on copyright, but I should really let him speak for himself. Where are you Thierer?

He's another believer in NN regs, but then who isn't these days.

On which policy issues do we disagree with Doctorow? (A serious question--I'm sure some exist but I'm not aware of any)
