Fun Slate read considering an alternative internet history if the FCC had been involved from the beginning. It won't make sense to most younger people who have only known the 'Net, but to those of us who matriculated from BBS's and early online services to the 'Net I think this fictional story rings true. Especially if you have any experience with governments and technology specifications.
