  Good letter. Keep pointing out that the nature of software does nothing to
  obviate the validity of plain, old common carriage regulation and anti-trust
  law. In fact, Shannon's Law is a parody of thermodynamics.
  
  Steam, sail, rail, IP, a packet, is a packet, is a packet. Baudot code is what,
  100 years old? So, 5-bits, 8-bits, 16-bits, 32-bits, does this progression
  really change everything?
  
  Lenin thought so, figured quantitative change became qualitative change. Was he
  right?
  
  I do not think so. Plus ca change, plus ca meme, as we say down on the Brazos.
