	    1.  As long as the federal government is giving anykind of 
    monetary support to the network, there should be some entity with the 
    power to ensure that gateways remain open between the various network 
    providers

How is this dealt with in the phone world? It's the FCC, right? Could
they take care of the Net?

It was just a suggestion! Please don't shoot! :-)
