Abstract

XI. Conclusion On this difficult subject, participants on both sides seem miraculously confident in their conflicting positions. I urge the FCC to shun such confidence; hence the consciously inconclusive tone of this paper. There are rational responses to uncertainty other than deciding based on philosophy or ideology. And ICE is too thin to rely on arguing simply that customers value modularity so firms will preserve it.
