The telcos are back again, spreading falsehoods and distortions in the pursuit of removing competition from the all too free internet space.
While I don't feel sorry for Ted Steves, one of the reasons he made the idiotic Tubez comments was that he was trying to parrot the contemporary telco talking points Mike McCurry was peddling.
The goal here, as with FinReg or FISA, is to create enough confusion and misunderstanding that the media throws up its figurative hands and just reverts to he said/she said.
