Observations on Constraints (over-generalized but useful)
the Internet is global
governments are realizing a significant portion of their constituents and market are moving to cyberspace
commerce motivates convergence; culture motivates divergence
technologists - mechanism not policy regulators - policy not mechanism
regulators often focus on fixed targets and choke points (ISPs and telcos)
relying upon previous regulatory models can be misleading (print, speech, broadcast)
often policies can motivate unintended consequences, or lead to regulatory arbitrage
