  You don’t understand the metaphor of railway regulation? Why did you introduce it? Government regulation often doesn’t do what people say it’s going to do. Often it is written to benefit a particular lobby. If you have specific ideas, those can be discussed in the context of government regulation of software. If you’re going to say ‘it will turn out the way it did with railways’, then you also have to face that access to railway lines is only available to a small number of companies chosen by the government. I think that is exactly what would happen if the government regulated software distribution.
