FSF President Randolph May Recommends the FCC Issue More NOIs

Be sure to check out Free State Foundation President Randolph May's opinion piece published on October 4 in the Yale Journal on Regulation's "Notice & Comment" blog. Titled "The FCC Should Revive Notice of Inquiry," the pieceexplains why the Commission might use Notices of Inquiry (NOIs) more often than it has in recent years.

Along the way, President May highlights the FCC's Notice of Inquiry, "Spectrum Requirements for the Internet of Things" that was issued on September 30. And at the end, he suggests that Commissioner Brendan Carr's idea for requiring fees from Big Tech to contribute to broadband infrastructure deployment and maintenance might be a good candidate for a Notice of Inquiry.
