Reed Hundt: 'We Did The Right Thing In '96'

The former FCC Chairman is, of course, referring to passage of the
Telecommunications Act, whose effects he discussed at a hearing before Sens.
Mike Dewine and Herb Kohl yesterday. Hundt stressed that as long as
broadcasters adhere to the act's basic principles of "promoting competition,
innovation and investment, we will get through this stock-market downturn
and we will move on to even greater heights in terms of economic growth and
productivity gain. There has probably never been a law passed by any
congress, any legislature, in any country that has been so complex as the
Telecom Act. We did the right thing, and we have to stick to it."
