Talk amongst yourselves.
I hate to be the wet blanket to this man's Wikipedia-bashing party, but did he ever try correcting the article himself? Those who observe faults in Wikipedia and publicize them seem never to attempt fixing them, but are then amazed when the faults aren't fixed.
His comparison of Internet service providers to broadcast and print media is spurious. ISPs merely provide access to a computer network; they do not pre-approve the traffic as television stations and print media do.
But hey, what the Internet really needs is a body with legal authority over online speech, right? It's worked so well for broadcast television and radio.
