Telecom Policy, IP, and the Economic Report

Kyle Dixon waxes optimistic about Administration policies on telecom.

Kyle, who seems to have actually read the Economic Report of the President, also notes its repeated references to the importance of property rights:

The President's chief economic advisors also stressed the need to promote investment and innovation by defining and protecting property rights. Again, sounds very familiar, especially with respect to such FCC policies as its decision not to force incumbent phone companies to lease their broadband networks to competitors. It also sounds familiar with respect to my colleagues' efforts to safeguard intellectual property as media companies struggle to develop business models that will be sustainable in the digital age.
