Editor’s Note: Prior to responding to a request for the investigation described below, the FTC should  first respond to the petition filed by the Center for Regulatory Effectiveness requesting that the FTC define unfair practices for web based firms and allow the public to offer comments on the said definitions, see  http://www.thecre.com/ftcwatch/?p=117  

Editor’s Note:  Our Readers are encouraged to post their comments in the space provided below or in Public Discussion Forum to the right of this page.  CRE will review the comments and submit a report to the FTC and publish on this website.

 

Calls for enforcement actions are premature until which time regulatory agencies specify the norms to be used in judging unfair practices for web based firms, see the CRE petition to the same.
