Frankston: Paying by the Stroll

by alec on July 21, 2006

In Paying By The Stroll, Frankston takes a good natured swipe at the whole net neutrality debate.  In a planned community of the future, he takes a stroll on a vendor owned sidewalk. Bob’s position, of course, is that the network ought to be a public service.  Certainly that’s a model that has worked well in some other places.

Alec Saunders is the Vice President of Developer Relations for BlackBerry maker Research in Motion. This is his personal blog, with his personal viewpoints. Prior to this Alec was the CEO and co-founder of Calliflower — the easiest way to hold a meeting, online, on a conference call, or on the go. A double-decade veteran of product management and marketing, he spent nine years at Microsoft where he helped launch Windows 95, the first two versions of Internet Explorer, the Universal Plug and Play initiative, the push into home markets, opt-in email marketing and what might well go down in history as the very first direct email list ever.
