...Despite the organizers' high hopes, their dial-a-protest may not be having much effect. Strong opposition to a war in Iraq, evidenced by millions of marchers and hundreds of thousands of callers, faces an extraordinarily unreceptive audience in Washington.

Unlike a perfectly open market, where dissatisfied consumers can turn to a new provider in search of the product they want, there is simply no room on the radio dial for startup or breakaway radio stations to form should an existing monopoly alienate the consumer. As such, it is entirely reasonable for the government to regulate this commodity and restrict consolidation in this industry...
...more than 100 countries, and a fifth of the New York Times's 3,800 electronic subscribers are from outside the U.S. Users can buy annual subscriptions or individual copies for about the same price as for paper copies. Downloads can take minutes with broadband or hours with a dial-up modem, but they can be scheduled to move while you sleep. Coming soon: a version for Macs and an archiving service...
