I think Robert McDowell's only concerned about government regulation in the context of Comcast being punished for it's behavior. There's lots of pretty speeches about free enterprise and laissez-faire capitalism when businesses are screwing over consumers or workers.

Mr McDowell should look at the housing and banking industry for an example of unregulated free markets.

This is a NON-issue.
