An FCC wish for the New Year

Dave Hughes, writing on the Cybertelecom list (and edited by me):

Hell yes, I have an FCC wish [for 2005]! I want the FCC to ALLOW schools and libraries to use the allocated $2.2 Billion a Year to buy and own digital wireless DEVICES and not be compelled to buy SERVICES from telcos or anybody else. Old Man Year Hundt, Kinnard, nor Powell seemed ever to GET IT! So how about the 2005 Baby FCC Brains get newly born to wake up to that perpetual, costly, stupid mistake made back in 1996.

NOBODY has EVER given me a cogent legal, economic, or regulatory reason why that rule has to remain fixed in concrete.
Here's a reason, Dave; to protect the poor ILECs from their REAL competition, User-Owned Networks.
