> As it stands, Congress passes a (often vague and badly written) law, and it’s up to regulators with very tailored knowledge (on subjects ranging from wireless spectrum management to emission controls) to implement useful rules within the confines of the law.

They are often generalists whose skills are more transferrable to other regulatory branches than they are to the industries in question.
