Correction: Yesterday's headline on Freeloader software stated that the
technology will not be incorporated into upcoming versions of Web browsers.
The technology *will be* incorporated -- hence the article about
Freeloader's demise makes a lot more sense, doesn't it?

Title: AT&T Presence In Europe is Questioned
Source: Wall Street Journal (A18)
Author: Kenneth Gordon and Thomas Duesterberg
Issue: FCC
Description: In an op-ed, the senior vice president of the National
Economic Research Associates and a senior fellow at the Hudson Institute
argue that Hundt's time as Chairman of the FCC led primarily to
"strengthened central control and micromanagement." The authors believe
that most of Hundt's actions at the FCC have stalled rather than supported
the development of competition in the communications industry. Their
article outlines the needed steps to promote competition including phasing
out universal service, deregulating all advanced service including
telephony, and allowing the markets to set prices for other
telecommunications services.
