Because they occasionally overstep their bounds, Craig. Thank goodness we don't
have a system in which overly-activist unelected bureaucrats are allowed to
define public policy.
Nothing demonstrates this more clearly that this FCC's approach to developing a
broadband plan.
They are to be the managers of the resource, not the owners. Managing the use
of a resource means going to the owners of the resource and asking for their
intentions. It does not mean the manager imposing its intentions on the owners.
