Re: FCC doesn't want good data

said by nasadude See Profile :

the FCC doesn't want good data; good data would show that their deregulatory policies are NOT resulting in competition, but rather the opposite (in most cases).
In particular, if they were to report that widespread broadband deployment is not progressing, then the 1996 Telecommunications Act would require them to "take immediate action". And that's the last thing the free-market-is-always-right ideologues on the Commission want to do.

So instead they make sure to use data that says everything is hunky-dory.

 Exactly.

The provision that requires "immediate action" is why you'll never see this data collection methodology improved.

deregulatory visioned think tank folks who want absolutely no oversight of corporations officially run the world. The idiocy of that is people with that viewpoint probably make up .2% of the population.

iraq		 The problem is, that 2% of the population controls 80% of the wealth. Thus, 2% = majority.

 No, the problem is 98% of the US population that are wage-slaves refuse to throw off their shackles. Without labor, that 2% majority is nothing more than a lame duck from the same gene pool as the one currently inhabiting the White House. Wanna break their monotony? Bust the Corportocracy by leaving the workforce in droves.
