It's time to abolish the Federal Communications Commission

The reason is simple. The venerable FCC, created in 1934, is no longer
necessary.

Its justification for existence was weak 70 years ago, but advances in
technology since then have eliminated whatever arguments remained. Central
planning didn't work for the Soviet Union, and it's not working for us. The
FCC is now an agency that does more harm than good.

The FCC was created by Congress to regulate radio-frequency
transmissions. That purpose is not obsolete. It is included,
moreover, in international treaties or conventions to which the United
States is signatory. Therefore if the FCC is abolished, something else
would have to be creaated to take its place.

I have no idea why you thought this might concern the Usenet group
sci.math. I have omitted the cross-postings to UK and NL because I
have no idea why you cross-posted a US matter to Usenet groups of those
countries.
