I think that sentence is an over-generalisation, as trawling through  
the first dozen Google hits for "common carrier" reveals that  
Wikipedia is very much in the minority in regarding a license from a  
regulatory body as part of the definition (although obviously that's a  
common case in practice).

Having said which, although the quotation marks in our document are  
meant to imply that we don't feel the analogy is exact in any case,  
I'd be happy to take suggestions for new wording which would avoid any  
misunderstandings.
