From the author: In the AOL-Time Warner merger, academics, policy activists, and industry rivals argued (against the merging companies) for transparency and interactivity in communications. This approach, fostering a commons-type environment for both commercial and noncommercial benefit, challenged the supposed naturalness of property arrangements in communications policy. It also offered the structural critique that Streeter (1996) has called for in media reform strategies. Acknowledged only in limited ways in the AOL-Time Warner outcome, the commons model continues to be elaborated among academics and advocates, while creatively challenging the extension of traditional property claims of electronic media to newer domains.
