Deregulation Will Open Door to Next Big Tech Innovation, Jamison Says

The FCC deregulatory push should open the door to the next big tech thing, which occurs on average every 10-15 years, blogged American Enterprise Institute visiting scholar Mark Jamison Thursday. The last “shockingly thrilling" launch was the iPhone in 2007, he wrote. “Deregulation is the key,” Jamison said. “I don’t mean an absence of contract laws or consumer protections that allow markets to work well. Rather, I mean an absence of regulations that stand in the way of businesses and customers voluntarily engaging in ways that are mutually beneficial.” Deregulation “keeps customers in charge of whether innovations succeed or fail,” he said. Jamison was on the Trump FCC transition landing team.
