Regulation is not micromanagement
"At some point, the FCC meddles in free markets. It will micromanage."

Clearly you think more about business than you do about government. Or maybe you're just conservative, politically, and ideological to a fault.

This is about the public's interest in fostering competition and innovation. The public also has an interest in keeping the roads safe to drive on, but when the police arrest a drunk driver who had caused a 10 car pile-up, you don't blog about how they're micromanaging us as drivers.
