The Need for FCC Reform

Friday, July 29, 2005
“Congress should not expand the powers of the FCC by giving it a new role to regulate the latest technologies. Instead, lawmakers should direct the FCC to simply resolve issues derived from the past AT&T monopoly and government control of spectrum. And then they should keep the agency from regulating new communication platforms, deferring to the communications marketplace for that job. What’s more, the current static legal classification of different types of communications services needs to be overhauled.”

--from Braden Cox, “Reform FCC -- Limit It!” at Tech Central Station

I express concerns about the creeping power of the FCC here and here.
