“Going the Wrong Way”

By Bruce Mehlman

In an op-ed for AOL News, former FCC commissioner Deborah Taylor Tate cautions the FCC’s current push Internet regulations:

During this continued and challenging economic period for most Americans, the Congress and the FCC should look to the recent and extraordinary successes the Internet has brought with light-touch regulation, taking into consideration the massive boom in advanced technologies that continue to offer completely new tools to American consumers each day, provide new jobs and keep us globally competitive.

That’s why we should all hope that the FCC realizes it’s headed in the wrong direction before it is too late.

As always, read the whole thing.
