What regulations do you think caused the current lack of competition? How can the FCC change them?

The FCC is doing what it can within its legal jurisdiction to improve the actual reality of internet access in the US.

The one dimensional perspective of 'more regulation bad, less regulation good' is completely unhelpful in this situation.




I support regulation in other places, I don't consider my position one sided that way. I have a high bar for the benefit that a regulation needs to pass before I agree with it, but I'm not against this only because it's regulation.

Some solutions would be to fix the laws allowing these lawsuits to go on like this, perhaps requiring the loser to pay the costs for frivolous suits like the ones described, or stop the FCC regulations that are the official cause of the lawsuit.

Why doesn't the government go after the monopolies under anti-trust laws?
