McCain suggests little government regulation of broadband as possible

Sen. McCain suggests that there should be as little government regulation of broadband as possible. Walt notes that the telecom industry is re-aggregating back into “one unified AT&T.” Sen. McCain says we should let the market and technology solve the Net-neutrality issue: “When you control the pipe you should be able to get profit from your investment.” In general, I'd agree with that assessment by McCain. I believe that most markets should be profitable for the company that is operating it. That being said, the internet glares as an exception for me. It's far too pervasive, all-encompassing to adopt a different pricing approach this late into the game. Ten years ago, they could have set it up this way and no one would have cared.
