What? That's what government does. Government represents people and regulates what people can and cannot do with land, sky, water, oil, gas, each other, themselves, etc. Are you an anarchist?

And I'm sure he'll be the first to want the government to step in when his hotel starts blocking personal hotspots. Regulation is not a bad thing. Sometimes long-term planning is required.

  > And I'm sure he'll be the first to want the government to step in when his hotel starts blocking personal hotspots. Why do you say this? When have I ever indicated this? If it is possible for a hotel to block RF that I want to transmit or receive, then obviously I have checked into the wrong hotel.

> Are you an anarchist? I don't think it's quite that simple. I like simple, pragmatic solutions. Generally, yes, I think that the internet(s) will replace government, and I think that this situation is desirable. I'm concerned that the government will arm the skies and that the people on the ground will become targets. I think that's a reasonable concern. It makes more sense to me to ban weapons in the skies altogether. Whatever happens, I think it's important that there's one set of rules for everyone, whether they happen to be acting on behalf of the 'state' or not.
