My response would be to point out the behavior of the incumbents in the telcom industry vs. the upstarts; which are the ones responsible for most of the innovation that actually got delivered to the market? Regulations raise barriers to entry; which favors the incumbent over the upstart. Roads are a bad analogy and will only serve to obscure the discussion. --Patrick
