    The original infrastructure in North America was the railway. I’m really thankful that the Internet didn’t develop the same way the railway did, with lots of suffering and exploitation and a few people getting really rich.

    The playbook used by the Comcasts and Verizons isn’t new; it goes right back to the Phoenicians, and probably even earlier.
