Issues: Communications & Tech

The Issue

Innovations in communications and technology have fueled the Information Age. New discoveries emerge daily, rendering yesterday's technologies obsolete. The pace of change is so rapid that high-tech companies can lose competitive edge if they are not first-to-market with their idea or concept.

The FreedomWorks Position

Taxes and government regulation slow down the growth of technological innovation. Government lawsuits against high-tech developers hamper the pace of innovation while costing the taxpayer money. Outdated government regulations pigeonhole companies - especially telephone companies - and make it difficult for them to react in a dynamic marketplace.
