A Conservative In IT? In Publishing?

Rob Preston of Information Week sounds all Tea Party when he talks like this:

The 11-month-long spectacle that is AT&T’s attempt to acquire T-Mobile is a microcosm of this country’s economic atrophy: billions of dollars set aside and countless man hours consumed to pander to regulators and special interests rather than create anything of value.

Unfortunately, it is producing something of value: pay checks and billable hours to the regulators, special interests, and all the attorneys involved, not to mention column inches to people who decry one side or the other or, in this case, the game, not the playas.

The real question is whether the end product of this dysfunctional system is producing anything of value to the citizen. That answer is no.
