>>>>they went off for quite a while about selling off UHF and VHF frequencies which was also a pretty clueless claim....how does that change anything? You are just trading one problem for another. Our entire free market economy operates on this premise. Govt auctions certain exploitation rights, the rights go to the highest bidder which is presumably the one that can exploit the resource for the most value. VHF UHF frequencies were not auctioned, they were instead handed out to well-connected aristocracy, such as when Senator Edwin Johnson (D-Colorado) lobbied and got a band for Denver within 10 days [1] Are you saying patronage is superior to the free market ? Or is there a better system I'm not aware of ? I'd love to hear it. [1] https://web.archive.org/web/20090804163725/http://dumonthist... |
