Weekly Editorial - November 13, 2014
1. What is the main idea of Mr. Kessler's commentary?
2. Mr. Kessler concludes by asserting: "The president might think he’s doing a favor for Americans, but utilities are utopias only on paper. With no competition to stimulate investment, capabilities will wither. Eventually a federal bureaucracy will be needed to help allocate the scarce broadband resources. In that vaguely neutral world, everybody gets access to the same resources. Well, except for the government - it of course will need special, superfast access. You want cheap, ubiquitous and naturally neutral broadband? Promote competition and outlaw utilities."
Are you surprised by this assertion? Explain your answer.
3. Do you argree or disagree with Mr. Kessler's opposition to President Obama's call for "net neutrality"? Explain your answer.
