Verizon Wants the Government to Re-Write Telecom Laws
Umm
Isn't that what the FCC is for? Or, are they asking for congress' help now that it's a Republican one?
...
Whats the "Red Check of Satan" complaining about now? BTW, you can toss the DeathStar into this as well. They're both leaps and bounds ahead of any other carrier. They need government help, for what? Knock out the rest of the competition?
...
Umm, complaining? All I said in my post was that the FCC gets its authority from the congress.

sweet, let's get government control in everything and turn it into globalism. 😈 😈 😈

Globalism? Really?

You realize the article says Verizon, not Verizon Wireless don't you? It could have more to do with cable company local monopolies than anything to do with wireless.

The market is saturated. The best carriers can hope for, is a shift in migration. My guess is that the motivation is not against ATT. It is actually to make it more difficult for the smaller carriers. Lower pricing from the smaller carriers is stalling migration to the larger. I presume they are looking for more rules to quell some of the practices of the smaller. I believe asset holdings not being used by other carriers, is also the center of complaint.

...or are you just hating because it said Verizon? It was actually saying that the big red check of satan was actually asking for regulation to help prevent monopolies.

Remember, there is much more to Verizon than just Verizon Wireless. Wireline, for instance, is governed not just by the FCC but also by many different state and local entities. This is an antiquated system based upon natural monopolies created by the company that owned the local trunk. Similar monopolies exist in cable.
However, the proposed shift from regulation to "case-by-case adjudication" does scare me. We have seen how well the deregulation of the banking industry has worked. (By the way, that deregulatory road was paved by William Proxmire, D-WI)
