 RE: UK regulator Ofcom could be scrapped

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.

Sure, let them regulate themselves. Excuse me while I laugh hysterically.

That'd be terrific.
We could go back to forced renting of our phones.
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.
