Todd Boyle writes on the decentralization list about telcos and the government limiting 802.11 for their own benefit:
Moore's law predicts CPU processor speed will double every 18 months.
Gilder's Law says that bandwidth will rise at a rate three times the rate at which processing power is increasing.
Metcalf's law states that, as the number of nodes on the network increases linearly, the economic value or "power" of a network increases geometrically.
At the moment processing power is doubling every year and bandwidth every four months.
Why is my phone bill, cable bill, and broadband bill increasing? and why is there so little economic value to me in being part of these networks?
