Why aren't people all over the FCC... Because Americans have totally bought into the de-regulation fantasy. De-regulate airlines and we got dangerous, undependable travel. Qantas has never had a fatal accident in their 65 year history. US airlines are one step above Aeroflot. These same lunatics want to de-regulate water, and create Enron-esque water shortages. All industries with extremely high fixed costs are "Natural Monopolies". Any economist not drinking crazy water will tell you the obvious catastrophic results of de-regulating a "natural monopoly". Investors will be wiped out, service disrupted, and in the long run the industry will once again become a monopoly. This will be the outcome in airlines, telecom, cable, electricity etc.
