What point am I (or Cord) missing about open networks?Tim LeeTue, 31 Jul 2007 18:54:01 -0000http://techliberation.com/2007/07/30/libertarianism-and-open-networks/#comment-1451658It's human nature to fall back on formula and dogma when you don't understand an issue. Networking is incredibly complicated (even through the Internet and telephones seem so simple). Libertarian thinkers need to quit being so lazy minded about the open network. At its heart, control of network services can only be accomplished through control of subscriber identity (that's why the mobile world with it's highly developed HLR is so much more closed than wired broadband). Independent control of one's identity information is a very Libertarian goal.Tom CosevenTue, 31 Jul 2007 08:54:47 -0000http://techliberation.com/2007/07/30/libertarianism-and-open-networks/#comment-1451657Nozick. And networks. In the same post. My mind is officially blown.Luis VillaMon, 30 Jul 2007 19:16:00 -0000
