New Audio Interviews, Plus FCC Releases 400 Pages of Internet Regs

Mises Wire Ryan McMaken

The FCC has finally released its 400 pages of regulations that will be used to exercise federal control of the internet.

In my recent article on net neutrality, I explained that more FCC control of the internet merely invites more control from powerful interest groups. Now, we know more about which interest groups are presently exercising power since, as The Daily Caller notes, the FCC regs favorably cite the anti-free-market left-wing Soros-funded group "Free Press" 62 times. 

I discussed both the basic economics behind net neutrality and the implications for interest-group politics in net neutrality in two recent interviews:

I spoke with Albert Lu of The Power and Market Report, and with Jack Thompson of the Political Badger show.
