Ralph Yarrow III

Ralph Yarrow has a dubious past indeed. It seems he is jocking with his Mormon friends in the legistlature to become a dominant provider himself. Word is that he's after XMission's business. Check out his questionable activities with Ray Noorda's family... who fired him for his improprieties.

Good for Utah

If the Internet is beyond regulation; if it is full of adult-themed content that cannot be filtered with any degree of certainty; and if technology is incapable of resolving this issue, than what other choice is there? Allow our children to access all the pornography and other adult themed content--that doctors, sociologists and therapists have already proven to cause behavioral problems--they want.

With all the cheap and easily accessible Internet-enabled devices that are available today, people who want to keep their communties free from this kind of content have little choice but to regulate its access.

A hotspot or unsecured wireless network is no different than a community vidoe store that would allow any child to rent any kind of movie he or she wants--including pornography.

The day people allow technology to bull-over their values, values that have been around for a lot longer than the Internet--we are all in a lot of trouble.
