The FCC is absolutely equipped to regulate the internet (or, interstate communications by radio, television, wire, satellite, and cable).
Believe it or not, that's exactly its congressional mandate!
- jquery 9y agoAn increasing amount of trade is happening over the internet. It's disingenuous to suggest the FCC's internet mandate is at all similar to radio or tv. I also think the FCC has done a particularly poor job of managing those resources, as well. (This comment is subject to an obscenity fine, thank you for reporting)
- jachee 9y ago@jquery: Trade happens over the highway system, too. That doesn't take away from the NHTSA's authority to regulate it. Just because trade happens over the Internet doesn't somehow make it magically not-communication. Y'know... the first C in FCC?
