• Promoting Innovation in Video Devices

  
  Public Knowledge - Blogging, Events, and Action Alerts — Authority: 132
  Public Knowledge has long argued that the market for “video devices”—things like set-top boxes and DVRs that you attach to your cable or satellite provider’s network—is not as competitive as it should be.

• Where financial regulatory reform is heading

  
  James Pethokoukis — Authority: 699
  The future of U.S. financial reform seems destined to track closely the path of that other major effort winding its way through Congress, healthcare. As a result, what came out of the House of Representatives with a narrow majority on Friday may be far more ambitious than what the Senate could possibly pass. So the ...

• Obama vs. Wall Street

  
  James Pethokoukis — Authority: 699
  A few thoughts on the banker summit at the White House: 1) Some banks were already trying to boost small business lendin, such as Goldman Sachs and JPMorgan. 2) Lending was likely to rise anyway as economic growth picks up, so it will be tough to determine if this WH meeting had any independent impact. 3) For the ...

• Financial Regulatory Reform Overlooks the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority

  
  Sense on Cents — Authority: 433
  Only in Washington could the promotion and passage of a piece of legislation known as Financial Regulatory Reform overlook the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA). How could this happen? What does it mean? Why haven’t legislators and large parts of the media questioned this reality? I am not saying ...

  Advocates for financial regulatory reform must be shaking their heads today after watching Rep.

• The UK banker bonus supertax

  
  James Pethokoukis — Authority: 699
  I don’t see this happening in the US.  I mean, the effort to raise taxes on private equity carried interest, while passing the House, is going nowhere in the Senate. And that is far less controversial and a less stupid idea. And remember how the 90 percent tax on AIG bonuses fell flat back in March.  The one ...
