There must be a better Way

Legal precedents reflect acquiescence toward positive technological advancements within the sociological and economic fabric of society. Also, because of eCommerce trends there occurs a viral dynamic throughout the Internet community for those products or services too good to resist.

Established monopolies, such as the Telco Industries, will have no more of an advantage in capitalizing upon this technology than anyone else. You can get a sense of this dynamic through a recent CRTC ruling on limited regulation for Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) telephone services to foster competition.

As this recent CRTC ruling news release points out; ‘Local telephone markets are among the few remaining telecommunications markets in Canada that are regulated by the CRTC. The CRTC opened these markets to competition in 1997. The continued regulation of the incumbent local exchange carriers reflects the fact that they continue to have market power and competition is not yet entrenched in those markets.’

The computer and Internet are evolving in such a way that the march of progress (in the information age) is blurring those lines of delineation which have separated various ‘traditional’ communications industries. The CRTC decided that VoIP is a phone service and had the right to exist and develop its potential within a competitive environment - unhampered by the big boys on the block.

As new technologies are developed (which are accepted in the light of a progressive society) then the regulatory trend is to make room for them to flourish in a competitive environment.

Just because the Phone Industry has been traditionally defined by wires and switches and the Cellular Industry by microwaves and microchips doesn’t mean someone is prohibited from inventing ‘a better mouse trap’.

Please excuse the skewed metaphor but it makes a point – it doesn’t make sense to continue doing something a certain way when a better way exists to achieve the same objective - plus so many more unexpected applications and benefits.

Can you now imagine a world without the Personal Computer or Personal Transportation?

What kind of world would those with who had a vested interest in the ‘Typewriter’ or ‘Horse and Buggy’ Industries prefer to live in - now?

For those from that era (who are still alive) the answer would probably depend upon how they adapted to ‘change’. There are some inventions that address fundamental needs so effectively that the world will flock in droves to embrace them - despite protestations from the established, yet more primitive, technological monopolies.

The marketplace will make room for innovations which will deliver a product or service better, faster, more completely and cheaper than currently is experienced. If the regulatory and business sectors permits such an environment for growth and consumers are given unbridled access to ‘a better mouse trap’ - the demand will be predictable.
