McCain tech plan

It’s coming - next week some time.

From a wire report:

Having watched the FCC for years from the viewpoint of the Senate Commerce Committee, McCain thinks the agency shouldn’t be drafting rules for new markets, [Douglas Holtz-Eakin, a senior domestic policy advisor for the McCain presidential campaign] said. Instead, McCain wants the FCC to function more like the Federal Trade Commission, which analyzes the impact of companies’ endeavors before it acts.

So as you enjoy your weekend, think for a moment about what an FCC without rulemaking authority would be able, or unable, to do.  Feel free to fulminate in the comments here - in either direction.
