FCC Task Force Tackles AT&T, Google, Sprint, T-Mobile, Verizon
Can the FCC *really* be that stupid?
I'm really trying to get to the root of this pile of horse crap. SURELY the FCC understands how the subsidized pricing model works right?
This whole situation leaves us only a few conclusions,
a) they really don't understand how it works and our country is doomed if politicians are actually *MORE* idiotic then we think they are or
b) they do understand and in a desperate move to swing public opinion of the federal government in general are trying to appeal to the "little guy" with this "take down the evil cell carriers" horse crap. Which would make them as corrupt as we already knew the government is.
Either way.... /facepalm

Politicians can't balance a budget. Most know nothing about running a business. That's why they go into politics in the first place.

Better yet, this could be a great way for the government to sieze additional regulating powers over the industry. They can pander to the consumers by calling their efforts "enforcement of fairness", but who really wants fairness enforced by the government? Thats what free markets and competition are for. If the government gets into over-regulating another industry, it can only damage the consumers in the end.
I'm telling you, this could all just be about control over an industry, and hence more control over the average consumer...

I happen to not like contracts myself, but why would I want to take away everybody else's choice of whether to have a contract or not? I believe above all else in freedom to choose; freedom to choose my unlocked phone and my carrier without a contract, or freedom to enslave myself in a contract for two years so I can get a cheap phone. The choice is there for everyone to make. I happen to choose not to have a contract, but that's just me. I'm not out here to tell somebody else what to do, unless they ask me for advice.
