You are here Schwartz' brings adult supervision to Wu's sophomoric NN analysis

It is always a joy to read clear thinking rigorous analysis. I have known and respected Marius Schwartz's mind and work for several years, and I am delighted that he brought the heft of his intellect and DOJ experience to the question of "wireless net neutrality" in his white paper:
For anyone who cares about the merits or substance of net neutrality as a proposed public policy, it would be hard to find a better debunking of Columbia Law Professor Tim Wu's sophomoric and vacuous work on wireless net neutrality than Marius'.
- Marius proves that Mr. Wu doesn't:
- understand analogies (because he tries to apply a monopoly regulation concept to a competitive industry);
- know squat about the wireless market (Mr. Wu's understanding appears to be only a couple of mouse clicks deep); and
- check his facts.
Thank you Marius for showing us the type of analytical rigor required to be taken seriously on a public policy matter like net neutrality that proposes to reverse wireless competition law from 1993 and telecom law and Internet policy from 1996.

With his Carterfone, wireless net neutrality proposal, Mr. Wu is proposing to change longstanding bipartisan US law, competition policy, and Internet policy -- without making the case why.
