The government should decide the future of the Internet (blogmaverick.com)

Cuban's call for government control of bandwidth and subsequent designation of applications as "transformative" is mind-bogglingly ridiculous. It demonstrates that I guy I thought of as pretty smart doesn't really understand that what makes the internet so amazing is the end-to-end principle. Calling for the government to "set aside" bandwidth and declare winners is mind-bogglingly naive.

All that being said, please edit your title to remove your editorializing, and change it to Cuban's original "Don’t Waste the Internet on TV – Protect the Future of the Internet".


Cuban thinks the US govt needs to control the Internet more. Run for cover.
