As with most federal regulations, less is better. The development of the internet is a great vision for all regulators to ponder. The internet has had explosive growth worldwide, created new companies and millions of new jobs in great part because of a mostly unregulated free market. Generally I support government staying out of the way. Telecom regulation is behind the curve in letting a global telecom free marketplace of ideas and products flourish the same way that the internet has.
Everyday prosecutors go to court with fraud cases.
Fraud is a crime and it doesn't matter whether it is done by telephone, internet, US mail, private express mail, wire or in person. If anybody needs more resources, it. s not regulators, it. I believe that if an open free market to buy and sell 800 numbers had been allowed to flourish, holders of 800 numbers that had only a few dollars of use per month could have openly sold their 800 number asset to the highest bidder. That way, there would never have been a shortage in the first place. Both 800 and 888 use should be only given out for business, government and non-profit voice, data or fax applications.
