Terry, Assistant Professor of Media Law and Ethics at the University of Minnesota Hubbard School of Journalism and Mass Communication, discusses his article "Localism as a Solution to Market Failure: Helping the FCC Comply with the Telecommunications Act," which will appear in the Federal Communication Law Journal. Terry discusses the history of telecommunications regulation, and how the FCC's priorities have changed over time. He explains why the FCC's focus on competition is a mistake.
