Tribe: Net Neutrality Violates First Amendment
Adam gives the long-version of Professor Tribe's Aspen Summit talk. I'll give the headline version: Professor Tribe opined that net neutrality regulation would violate the First Amendment rights' of broadband providers.
This would, of course, be as ho-hum argument if made by someone of the pro-market, property rights-loving right. But the fact that the champion of liberal-left constitutionalism -- such as it is -- would hazard such an opinion is noteworthy.

Tales of Free Wi-Fi
Sitting here in the convenient but glumly industrial Kansas City International Airport that trumpets its free wi-fi connections on billboards both in- and outside the terminal. One problem with the fabulous free wi-fi. In my first 10 minutes of trying to log on, I get this message: "There are too many users logged on. Please try again later." Tragedy of the commons, anyone? Why not make all of us business travelers pay to ration and signal for sufficient capacity?

Time Bandits
Daylight savings time begins early this year, setting off a mini-tech panic as IT-administrators across corporate America sweat out whether patches and other fixes will accomodate the new time fiat. Based on research on electricity use from the 1970's, Congress expects the time-shift to save an equivalent of 100,000 barrels of oil per day. Assuming counter-factually that electricity use patterns are the same as they were in the 1970's, that amounts to a $6,000,000 per day energy savings based on a $60/barrel oil price. Times three weeks, that means there are expected savings of $126,000,000.
I wonder what the costs are to the IT industry, corporate networks and individuals in adapting to the new time? Given the direct costs, opportunity costs and the like, not to mention the costs of IT-failures based on the new rule, I would not be surprised if they offset the purported savings.
To make it worse, here is a paper from the California Energy Commission that questions whether there will be any meaningful energy savings, especially since the time-move occurs in March and November when peak electricity demand almost never occurs. If this is correct, then the cost benefit becomes even more dubious.

And now for some electric/tech policy convergence
It is not too much a stretch to bring this whole "convergence" meme to include electricity regulation as well. The digital economy is based on electrons -- cheap, plentiful, reliable electrons, and lots of them. I discuss the need for them in the home state here. In part, this is meant to be a corrective that to the "renewable energy is plentiful and cheap" notion; in larger part, it is meant to be a call "smarten" the grid through IT to trigger more robust market responses to price.

Ongoing T/BLS recriminations
The FCC's endemic dysfunctionality and lawlessness is on full display with the AT&T/BellSouth merger. The daily soap opera reached an interim crescendo last week with Commissioner McDowell's decision to recuse himself from the proceeding. Given we are now at the two minute warning, or halftime, or early in the first quarter of the proceeding, here is some color commentary.
It is premature to ask, "Who lost T/BLS?," as the proceeding will undoubtedly end up in approval, just with a much higher shakedown price. Instead, let's ask: "who is to blame for this circus?"
There is plenty of blame to go around, in order:
1. The Law FCC Commissioner Furchtgott-Roth many times bore witness to the dubious and lawless FCC merger review process. Quite rightly, Furchtgott-Roth questioned the capriciousness of merger reviews that were generally pro forma, but opportunisitically turned into shakedowns with wish lists of non-germane goodies added. The T/BLS merger has turned into the ultimate shakedown at this point, and the capacious legal standard (and non-reviewability) makes it possible.

Momentum for the FTC?
I hate to get ahead of myself with irrational exuberance, but my primary takeaway from the Aspen Summit is that there is a possible consensus that the FTC might be the appropriate institution for addressing the net neutrality issue, and broadband competition policy more generally. FTC Chairman Majoras highlighted the conference by announcing the Internet Access task force. Dick Notebaert echoed Chairman Majoras's call for the FTC to take a leadership role in the broadband market. Even my friends at Google appear inclined to consider an FTC-centric role for the net neutrality issue.
To the extent that the Summit helped forward the FTC as the rule of law regulator for the broadband marketplace, and forward the DACA approach toward regulation of the communications marketplace, I would rather audaciously submit it was a success.

Let the FTC Do It
FTC Chairman Majoras's announcement of an Internet Access task force is a welcome turn toward rule of law and rigor being brought to the communications sector. Chairman Majoras's full speech can be found here, and it sounds welcome cautionary notes about rushing headlong into Internet regulation.
Letting the FTC do it would be a signal accomplishment toward treating the issue of net neutrality and other competition policy issues surrounding broadband in a principled, economic analysis-driven manner. If only the parties to the net neutrality struggle would lay down their lobbying budgets and ad campaigns, and embrace the FTC as the proper institutional regulator. Fat chance.

Commissioner Adelstein Gets It -- Or Almost All of It
The Aspen Summit kicked off last night with an address by FCC Commissioner Adelstein, who got 3 out of 4 issues right in his quite engaging speech. I say that teasingly, because the Commissioner's speech once again reaffirmed that digital issues do not necessarily break down along neat Democratic/Republican political lines. Commissioner Adelstein addressed four topics, urging less regulation on three. On multicast must-carry, cable a la carte mandates and indecency regulation, the Commissioner urged caution, restraint and reliance on markets rather than regulation. Despite these laudable positions, the Commissioner remains steadfast in his defense of media ownership regulation. Nonetheless, not a bad opening batting average where he and PFF fellows agree on 3 of 4 major FCC issues.

Reverse Auctions--A Worthy Idea
Tom Lenard and I are very excited that the FCC has begun and inquiry into reverse auctions as a means to distribute universal service. Though it is very far from being realized, just asking the question is a bold step in the face of the political economy realities of the universal service system. In addition, the questions of auction design and rules are very delicate and subtle. Despite all the political and practical hurdles, this is a worthy discussion to be having as we ponder how to get rural America high quality, low cost, advanced communications systems.

Into the Sunset?
Well, it isn't exactly a heroic ride off into the sunset with the background of the Monument Valley (yes, I've watched John Ford westerns far too many times), but next week marks the end of my tenure as President of PFF.
I am humbled by the well wishes from those with whom I often disagree, Professor Lessig and Jeff Pulver. Even more, I owe thanks to the many colleagues and friends I have made these past years. DC is a place where cynicism can easily thrive, but there are also many thoughtful, principled folks who are struggling for the right answers within the often disspiriting insititutional situation.
I do think we did some things of real value while I was at PFF -- the Digital Age Communications Act, the Institute for Regulatory Law & Economics, the founding of the Center for Digital Media Freedom and the blossoming of IPCentral.info, to name just a few. These programs, and the dedicated folks who make them possible at PFF, will continue to thrive and grow. The cynics' eyes will roll, but I have been privileged to work with wonderful colleagues whose devotion to human liberty is complete and unfailing. Though there are practical imperatives for any institution, the think tank world is really a place for dippy idealists who believe that ideas matter.
With this reverie going on way too long, I think I'll go watch the Searchers again.
I am not going far -- just to the less managerially taxing role of Senior Adjunct Fellow. In the meantime, look me up in my new gig here, where we'll try and change the face of regulatory, competition and IP law from the inside out (cynical snickers welcome here).
