Re: What a crock!

"I call this behavior 'regulatory capitalism.'" - FCC Chairman William E. Kennard, Sept. 2000

said by »www.fcc.gov/Speeches/Kennard/200···019.html :

Regulatory capitalism is when companies invest in lawyers, lobbyists and politicians, instead of plant, people and customer service.

It's always easier to prowl the halls of Congress than compete in the rough and tumble of the marketplace.

Regulatory capitalists would rather litigate than innovate.
