This will be interesting to see how the FTC handles this vs how the FCC may have.. or just doesn't care.



this is where govt lawyers and bureaucrats get to see ... what industry actually does.. meanwhile, industry will selectively blow smoke or stall, depending on the stakes... Round One


This is a study, not an investigation. There is literally nothing to see here.


>There is literally nothing to see here.

I'm not sure that is the case. There will be something.


I never said there would never be anything, just that there's literally nothing right now except the FTC announcing a study and speculation HN folks who never made it past the article title. I fail to see how this is 'news worthy'.


Any study starting is nothing to see right now.... you could say that about anything.

Start of an investigation certainly can be news.


Uh, this is the start of a study: no news.

This is not an investigation: no news.

Nothing has been concluded: no news.

Care to elaborate?


It's not the start?

I can't figure out what you think the story is about.


I have a hard time believing anything meaningful will be the result of this any time in the next decade. Until then I will patient await proof that I was wrong.


I mean changing things is the legislative system's job... FTC can investigate and provide data.


No investigation here..
