effort to rein in price gouging that was taking place at the telecom companies had argued that the f.c.c. had no authority to regulate and state phone rates and thankfully for them the former verizon lawyer and new f.c.c. chairman agree is according to the new york times the agency had been preparing a legal defense of its rules but that effort abruptly stopped when i was appointed by president by the president to chair the f.c.c. in february mr price said agency lawyers would not argue to defend its rules in the court so the question is should prisoners and their families be caught in the crossfire between the battle over government oversight and free market bureaucrats no they shouldn't and we need to we need to actually have the moment to look at this and say like ok sometimes government oversight is a good thing yes when you see businesses running rampant without control completely completely ripping off the populace there's no way you can cover this this is ripping off the prisoners and their families because they're prisoners but that's when a good government steps in as little. ju

because the f.c.c. has not really weighed in at all on these additional point offerings they are making noises they're saying you know we got a look at this thing it looks like a security issue be regulated like a security but i remember back in the one nine hundred eighty s. when i started as a stockbroker on wall street and throughout the next thirty years of my career financial innovation on wall street comes first and the f.c.c. writes new laws are changes existing laws to catch up to those new innovations like credit default swaps mortgage backed securities you know all kinds of exotic trading vehicles there it is first and they're completely against all the laws of the f.c.c. these journeys after thirty three and thirty four and the bankers say well yes you see these you can't you know we're innovators don't stop us from innovating can't just make the same argument about the i.c.l. market well there are actually people getting nervous in both spaces at the regulators and also people inside the big
