EU Internet regulation

[ramin]

I could not agree more with Mark.  What this
AC stuff says is that everyone can increase
sales 10-20% and reduce costs and build new
greenfields businesses.  Very lightweight
indeed because if everyone did, would demand
actually go up? No, if anything, all the
extra efficiencies will drop demand as the
wastage would go down.

Seeing as how their Australian CEO survey was
based on an extremely small sample size (i mean
eXtremely) maybe this one is also a quick put
together of anecdotal stuff as well.
