Re: Standard Government Intrusion Result

said by I Use Dial:

Whenever the Government intrudes into the market it causes higher prices, reduces quality, diminishes competition and stifles innovation. The existence of the FCC is the cause of all the problems listed in the article.
Do explain.

Do we have problems with the quality, price, availability, variety or number of competitors for bread? No, because anyone with an oven can start a bakery and any store can distribute and sell it. The state mandated monopoly created by the FCC is what causes the problems listed in the article.

Yes! You understand it perfectly! The existence of the FCC causes prices to be higher because they mandated a monopoly.

If we're talking about wireless, then that is what the FCC does - there is only so much bandwidth, and the FCC makes sure that providers don't interrupt each others' service.

If you've ever picked up a CB radio during its heyday, you should know what effect deregulation would have.
