Abolish the FCC

The Federal Communications Commission should be abolished

It is an agency that has no clear purpose or mandate. This agency was a product of Franklin Roosevelt's New Deal. The FCC was set up to regulate radio and was later expanded to televesion. With the advent of the internet and the fact that electronic media of various kinds are blending into one another it is not clear that the FCC has a traditional and well defined role to play. It is an aged bureacratic dinosaur with its best days long behind it.
