Paul-André Raymond
4.6
by Paul-André Raymond - Nov. 21, 2010

This is a strong and documented opinion piece by a Professor at Columbia Law School and well known commentator on the internet. The argument puts the current status of the internet in perspective of the history of multiple telecommunication technology. While the tone is critical of existing actors, the conclusion is not for drastic action but rather for realism and vigilance.
