USAToday Op-Ed

USAToday today runs an op-ed by David Isenberg and me about why the telcos ought to be allowed to "fail fast." This is based on the letter to the FCC a few dozen of us signed a couple of weeks ago.


But USAToday introduced an error into it. Where we said that the telephone network "was not designed" to handle anything other than voice data, USAToday edited it to say that it "can't handle" non-voice data. Not right. This makes us look like dopes to people who are smarter than I, although I don't think it actually much effects our argument.
