The "wild wild west" sucked. If you want to see that on the 'net, wait until the latter day land barons, the ISPs, can do anything they damn well want like blocking certain websites because, for instance, they express political views the ISP owner doesn't like, or charging extra for access to them because they're extremely popular.
And WTF is an "uncommon carrier"? Do you understand this issue at all? Do you know what a common carrier is? Check out Title 2 and stop listening to Comcast's commercials.
I understand that, for all you baggers, deregulation is the universal panacea but it has never worked anywhere that it's been tried.
