<p><span style="font-family:verdana,geneva;font-size:small;">Here is a detailed analysis of the whole range of options to introduce more competition to railroad shipping. I would say that the devil is in the details:</span></p> <p><span style="font-family:verdana,geneva;font-size:small;"><a href="http://www.cato.org/sites/cato.org/files/serials/files/regulation/1997/4/reg20n2g.html">http://www.cato.org/sites/cato.org/files/serials/files/regulation/1997/4/reg20n2g.html</a></span></p> <p><span style="font-family:verdana,geneva;font-size:small;">This quote strikes me as particularly brilliant:</span></p> <p><span style="font-family:verdana,geneva;font-size:medium;">“The justification most commonly given for such a pervasive new regulatory regime is "competition." But regulation is not competition. Regulation is governmentally administered prices and operations. Open access schemes that require regular regulatory attention would help revitalize the regulatory industry rather than the railroads. But they would do nothing for most consumers except add the cost of more regulation to their freight bill.”</span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-family:verdana,geneva;font-size:small;"></span></p>
