Re: [Fwd: PRESS RELEASE: New Paper Concludes Wholesale Access Licensing Essential to Wireless Competition]

The first thing one thinks of when you see something like this is:  
"who the heck are these people" and what are they out to get.

So reading

<http://www.newamerica.net/about/mission>

doesn't tell use much except the third paragraph says

> The New America Foundation is a nonprofit, post-partisan, public  
> policy institute that was established through the collaborative  
> work of a diverse and intergenerational group of public  
> intellectuals, civic leaders and business executives.

Well, not that helpful.

Wikipedia says

<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_America_Foundation>

> The New America Foundation is a non-profit public policy institute

Much clearer.

So back to the paper to read in context:
