The normal business cycle is for small innovative companies to challenge the status quo. Unfortunately, the really successful ones eventually grow-up to become the status quo. In summary, I posted on the <i>"Long-range versus Short-range Spectrum Licensing"</i> the statement that the privatization of spectrum may initially work as envisioned by TLF, but that overtime we will simply end-up with a private FCC that will seek to control and limit the use of the radio spectrum. The private FCC, I am positive will wine and dine the government for all the privileges that they can get.</p> Good post.

Ever hear of Mickey Mouse`s copyright act or count the number of times IBM has changed its mind on software patents in the past 40 years. Perhaps the most interesting cases of industry-govt ties are those where entire industries compete on policy fronts, such as the current sparring between big pharma and high-tech on patent reform.</p> Yes companies compete as much on commercial policies as they do in product/ service markets.
