Living in a Modern World with Less Than Modern Regulations

In the current economic climate, it is vital that we seek out ways to keep and create jobs locally. As consumers and businesses continue to grow more reliant on broadband and wireless technologies, updating today’s outdated laws becomes even more vital.

Current laws were put in place in a different era where Americans were literally shackled to their homes by phone cords. Today, nearly a quarter of American homes have no “home phone,” while another 15 percent consider their wireless phones to be their primary line. Government must match the private sector’s enthusiasm for improving productivity and efficiency. We must modernize our regulatory system if we are to position our economy for success in the 21st century. Properly done, we can produce better regulatory outcomes and a stronger American economy.
