Updated TV Regulations Are Needed to Boost Competition
Brent Skorup and Nicholas Krosse argue that aging TV rules dating to the 1960s hinder online and traditional providers. They cite 1400+ prime time programs last year and rising streaming use as reasons to reduce regulatory barriers and foster competition. They warn against regulating online video and note consumer costs rise from the current maze of rules. They credits the internet freedom in the 1990s for the internet and online TV’s Golden Age and urge Congress and the FCC to cut regulatory burdens.
