Comments to the FCC on T-Mobile-Sprint Merger

Geoffrey A. Manne & Julian Morris & Kristian Stout & Gus Hurwitz
ICLE submitted Comments to the Federal Communications Commission in Opposition to Petitions to Deny the T-Mobile-Sprint Merger. ICLE's comments argue that the petitions to deny fail to provide any compelling reason to adopt a presumption against this merger. To the contrary, there are good reasons to think that this transaction will benefit consumers and the economy.

Comments on the NTIA's International Internet Policy Priorities Notice of Inquiry

Geoffrey A. Manne & Julian Morris & Kristian Stout
Properly considered, there is no novel conflict between promoting the flow of information and protecting intellectual property rights online. While the specific mechanisms employed to mediate between these two principles may differ, the fundamental principles that determine the dividing line between “legal” and “illegal” content and its distribution offline can and should be respected online, as well.
