> There needs to be a new set of rules built around enforcing competition around the data economy. Agreed. In the US, the Telecommunications Act of 1996 was the last major attempt at FCC rework. Our world looks nothing like 1996. My emphasis would be on a more utilized regulatory authority over two methods of entrenchment: (1) data & (2) cloud infrastructure. Service providers past a certain market share should be limited in how they're able to wield these against competition. If they choose to utilize either for their own, non-neutral services, they should be required to offer them to external parties under reasonable terms that allow for existential-caliber competition. I realize we failed at this with carriers, but I don't see how the alternative is anything other than a mono-, duo-, or tri-opoly that's able to simply buy any threat to its revenue before the company is able to scale.
