Another View of the FCC and Spectrum Scarcity

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."

    Ok, they have another story on their main page titled "In Defence of Bribery" http://www.mises.org/story/1884 where the author claims bribing government officials is just another method to get things done. WTF??

    I think people should be free to lynch corporate executives who think money should control governments. Laws apply to EVERYONE for a reason. Not just when they are convenient when you're suing someing using the DMCA. At least the Worldcom CEO got 35 years of sweet man lovin'...
