Writes Stephen Wildstrom of BusinessWeek:
A bit over a year ago, I wrote a column arguing that innovation on the Internet would be best served if the government mostly kept its hands off. I’ve changed my mind. The behavior of the top telecommunications companies, especially Verizon Communications (VZ) and AT&T (T), has convinced me that more government involvement is needed to keep communications free of corporate interference.
It’s astounding how much these companies do to drive reasonable people to reach that exact same conclusion.
