commissioner borden: i would also like to reiterate what commissioner morse said -- moore said about being thrilled about america's cup. i look forward to the environmental review documents. i also want to congratulate all the new supervisors and the new interim mayor. i look forward to working with them on planning issues and to having a very productive time on a couple of issues. when is the presidio. i know there are plans for a hotel there. meetings have been canceled. i was wondering if we could have someone from the presidio update us on their plans and their philosophy. that way, the community has a forum that is a little more public than the existing forum. if that would be something other commissioners could agree to, that would be great. the other thing is that i wanted to request that the park merced project scheduled february 3 be moved. i will be out of town. after sifting through all the hearings, i would like to weigh in on the outcome. president miguel: [unintelligible] commissioner borden: no, i will not. vice president olague: i believe it is also chinese new year o

post office was a government monopoly, morse thought the telegraph should be too. well, it didn't work out that way. it turns out a number of players including powerful new york editors were frightened of the prospect of the telegraph destroying the metropolitan press. they used state legislation, they also used their own collective power to establish a new l regulatory regime which i call anti-monopoly. and the anti-monopoly regulatory regime the idea was to promote competition among telegraph companies, among network carriers. and that competition persisted for a couple of decades until lo and behold the greatest anti-monopolist of them all, jay gould, got control of the telegraph network in 1881. he was also the most hated finance year of the age. it's hard to think of anyone today who was as hated as gould. the telegraph story, then, you have anti-monopoly rules of the game, anti-monopoly political economy leading to what was effectively a duopoly. there were two companies in the 18 l 0s. the business strategy those firms pursued was business oriented, and it w
