The FCC

The Independent Institute has published an article about the FCC in light of the Super Bowl controversy. It argues that the FCC is a source of protectionism and a relic of the "New Deal" era. The author recommends that "...the airwaves should be privatized, a system of full property rights over electro-magnetic spectrum should be established, and the FCC should stop policing content and let network owners decide what to air".
