Hard times for small firms in wireless sector

So then, is there room for market stabilisation based on policy and regulation in both cases?

The FCC is still studying the report, but there are no indications they are introducing regulations.

The wireless market is very competitive, with new services, applications, and devices.

Therefore, there is justification for more regulation in a market where the forces of supply and demand are working properly.

Trying to do this is to say the least defeatist and will only act to destabilise the marketplace.
