Another View of the FCC and Spectrum Scarcity

Posted by timothy on from the take-that-pudge-and-jamie dept.

Bob_Robertson writes "Tim Swanson on the Ludwig von Mises Institute site is asking, has the FCC put itself out of a job by allowing the 47-49 MHz, 2.4 GHZ and other "open spectrum" frequencies, thus focusing innovation and development into making fantastic use of limited resources? The basis of the FCC's existence is "scarcity", so what happens when there isn't any scarcity any more? LVMI has looked into the FCC before."

    You are a liar. They protect us from hearing the "seven words" over the *public* airwaves. The *public* airwaves. You want to say any of the words? GO AHEAD. But not over the public airwaves.

    Man are you ANONYMOUS! How about you take some time to try to prove a point instead of calling names? Oh yeah, because name calling is all you free market neo can freaks are good at. Rationality just isn't your side's strong suit, is it?
