Cerf says dump existing telecom laws

Vint Cerf, legend of IP fame and now chief hack at MCI, says the way to restructure telecom law. Cerf's MCI model suggests a physical network layer for transport and access, followed by a logical network layer (i.e., IP), an applications layer and a content/transactions layer at the top. . ."This layered structure is a very open tool for thinking about where and how we should apply regulations and where and how laws might apply," Cerf said. "Each one of those can be better understood by thinking about at what layer one wants to apply the law, at what layer one wants to apply regulations."
