Yes. Anything which would get access technology into economically depressed regions at the price of not sending license fees to Redmond should be fought tooth and nail as damaging to innovation. $30-$50 devices are especially damaging to the Internet, as they would let all the riff-raff in to bother all us AOL users by seeking to use it as a tool in resolving their immediate mortal needs, like increasing crop yields beyond subsistance levels, taking all of the bandwidth away from more useful things like 20Mb dancing baby AVI and other such socially redeeming stuff.
