Open Access debate out of hand?

  • From: David Brouda

News.com has posted a Reuters story titled "Cisco under fire from "open
access" groups"

<http://www.news.com/News/Item/0,4,39939,00.html?st.ne.fd.tohhed.ni>

Here's one sample statement:
Referring to product literature passed out at a recent industry trade show
by Cisco, one representative said, "This is the owner's manual that
they're providing to the cable industry to monopolize the Internet,"
according to Jeff Chester, executive director of the Center for Media
Education. 


The claims are that QoS gives companies too much control. I think it's
time someone with a clue help them right a story.

Perhaps this has gotten out of hand?
