Pro-Culture, Pro-Commerce

By Bret Swanson 19 January 2010 No Comment

Just two more New York Times articles that point out what’s obvious around here: the Internet’s dramatic and unpredictable disruption of the whole “media” space. Isn’t Washington’s assumption that it can sort all this out and impose particular business models on the media space through prescriptive Net Neutrality regulation, a case of supreme hubris?

“What if Conan said, ‘Bye, NBC. Hello, Internet.”?

“Xbox Takes on Cable, Streaming TV Shows, and Movies.”

Reply Comments

Transparency and interactivity are trademarks of the Internet era, and we aim to foster them here at Digital Society. It is inevitable that some people will disagree with the technology policy positions we take. We want to have that constructive debate.

The Reply Comments feature gives our critics a chance to respond to our viewpoints and the Digital Society audience convenient access to competing arguments. Any time we directly challenge the views of an individual or a group on this site, the party in question may substantively respond in a guest post.

Please contact executive director Jon Henke by e-mail.
