“More Regulation is Not the Answer”

By Brad

Over at the site Mobile Dev & Design, Editor-in-Chief Lou Frenzel has a long and interesting piece on the AT&T/T-Mobile merger, the ongoing travails of upstart broadband provider LightSquared, and America’s pressing need for more spectrum:

Here is the bottom line on both of these deals. The AT&T/T-Mobile and LightSquared situations are the result of not enough spectrum. The government controls the spectrum and needs to do more to relieve the spectrum-shortage problem that plagues the wireless business. More regulation is not the answer.

Frenzel’s full piece is worth checking out.
