Re: RE: UK regulator Ofcom could be scrapped
said by TKJunkMail  :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. 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.
