<i>&quot;Most of the original motivations for having an FCC have gone away,&quot; Jamison wrote. &quot;Telecommunications network providers and ISPs are rarely, if ever, monopolies.&quot;</i><p>While I sometimes wonder about the value of the FCC in some respects, I think the statement above is a load of horseshit. Jamison either has friends at Comcast (edit: nope, Sprint: <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;fortune.com&#x2F;2016&#x2F;11&#x2F;21&#x2F;trump-net-neutrality-fcc&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;fortune.com&#x2F;2016&#x2F;11&#x2F;21&#x2F;trump-net-neutrality-fcc&#x2F;</a>), or mentally is stuck back in the 90s where everyone and their brother owned a dial-up ISP.<p>Although I think the standard response is to raise a hue and cry and fight a move to dissolve the FCC wholesale, I think a far more effective tactic is to talk about what the FCC does <i>well</i>, what it <i>could</i> do well, and what (if any) responsibilities should either be handled through legislation or removed.<p>I&#x27;m pretty sure that there&#x27;s a baby in all that bathwater.
