If the US government would only do that to the FCC. Limit the FCC to tech issues and keep them out of policy decisions regulating OTA, Telcos, & cable companies. |

Broadband would be defined as anything over 56k. AT&T attorneys would write FCC-free legislation (obligingly passed by elected officials) that would illegalize VoIP, independent ISP's, and any web content not expressly allowed by AT&T EULAs.
A real Panacea.
Did you have an alternative to the FCC in mind, or are you expecting Tel-Corps to magically become consumer-centric?
Expecting future Tel-Corps to suddenly have consumer interests as their driving priority is a little like saying "If we just invented The Internet all over again, there wouldn't be any porn in it".
It just doesn't seem to be a realistically possible future.
