REYNOLDS v. POWELL: THE FCC and the OPENNESS OF NETWORKS
This morning, Glenn Reynolds is taking on Michael Powell's attempt to loosen rules on media concentration. Some might be surprised at Reynolds' position, making the mistaken assumption that a libertarian like the InstaPundit would favor Powell's attempt to "deregulate" the ownership of media outlets. But Glenn's piece bears close reading and some thought: He's for real deregulation, i.e. letting consumers do what they want with the access they have to networks, instead of the direction he thinks we're heading, in which Big Media uses the power of the state to limit the ability of consumers to make choices.
