  • FTC Staff Guidance on Active Supervision of State Regulatory Boards Controlled by Market Participants

The Federal Trade Commission and its staff have frequently advocated that states avoid unneeded and burdensome regulation of service providers." the preceding from page 2 increased competition does not inprove quality , it does the exact opposite DKM
