Re: Deregulate? No. Share new fiber development? No. I agree too. Economically, technology has suffered when it has been regulated in some way. Inorder for technology to be deployed quickly, we must leave it unregulated. Once it is established, we should then start thinking about regulation. It is important to have regulation that does not hinder the growing process too.... Otherwise technology development and implementation will just stall.
How does this relate to the economy? Take a look at Hong Kong and India. India's economy is HEAVILY regulated. Businesses are unable to start in their homeland. US companies have to fight tooth and nail just to establish a building there (they have to get electric which requires gov't approval, etc etc etc). It's regulation heaven and the FCC would have a blast there. However, look at Hong Kong. The city, at the beginning, was a piece of rock. It had minimal regulation, and, respectively, grew into a HUGE city within a relatively short period of time. I believe that this same logic would work in any case. Just my thoughts (well... the economy part is more widely accepted). .... |
