Abstract:
The current legislation being considered by Congress or any "compromise" regulation bill will harm consumers. George Bush and Congress would do well to point out that local governments can help consumers by removing restrictions on competition. And Bush and Congress can help as well by removing restrictions on cable services provided by telephone companies. No kind or amount of regulation will help consumers. Only competition will.
