Re: FCC should have won said by OldschoolDSL:I'm normally not the kind of person who thinks we should give The Government more power, but this is one time The FCC was trying to do some good. Someone needs to keep big business honest! The FCC's authority to make rules needs re-writing in the Congress. The court was right in slapping them down for exceeding their authority.
The Congress should rewrite the Telecomm Act to reflect the reality that Voice, Data, Video, Wired & Wireless are not separate corporate entities any longer and that the FCC should be given SPECIFIC, LIMITED rule making authority in the communications arena. And those powers should be limited to the technical aspects of managing spectrum and coordination of standards so that all providers can inter-communicate successfully.

I don't think it could have been said any better. |

I agree the legislative branch has created these agencies and has given them all kinds of power so they can hide from their responsiablities in these areas. The congress needs to sh*t or get off of the pot in issues such as this.
Right now they are trying to have their cake and eat it too. The bums of both parties in the house and senate are too worried about loosing Moola for re-elections.

And if the federal congress is too busy to handle SOOOOO much of what they're taking on, at the same time, then maybe they should spend LESS time trying to take powers away from the states that they have no right to take in the first place either. Yet again, another tactic that I believe they do all in favor of winning more votes and support on a national scale.
Yes, I'm with you as well when we see them creating these agencies to make rules and regulation in order to offset the burden from their likely unpopular decisions so as not to affect their chance to continue their 'career' in politics.
Seriously - isn't it time to set term limits on ALL elected officials??  |
