	Race to the bottom - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The occurrence of races to the bottom is mitigated by the costs of moving investment and production between countries, by persistence of comparative advantages (such as skilled workforces, infrastructure or proximity to natural resources), and by the presence of minimum standards, rules or conventions which prevent them.
		According to this theory, races to the bottom between sovereign states can also undermine democratic accountability, since the elected governments are no longer economically capable of passing legislation which enforces environmental or labour protections that are more stringent than those current in neighbouring countries.
		The phrase race to the bottom is used sometimes in a pejorative context by those opposed to globalization and those supporting "fair trade" companies.

		A race to the bottom is a socio-economic concept that occurs between nations.
		A race to the bottom may also occur within a nation (such as between states or counties), but this occurs much less frequently because the federal government has recourse to enact legislation slowing or halting the race before its effects become too pervasive.

		It's difficult to be optimistic about Congress' ability to overhaul U.S. broadband laws in anything that remotely resembles a timely fashion, especially given how long it took to enact the Telecom Act of 1996.
		The all-powerful lobbying of the telecom industry has long been leading a race to the bottom, so far as broadband development is concerned.
		Internecine competition has not only slowed the progress of broadband networks but also related businesses such as handsets, which are often far superior in other countries, and critical applications in other industries, such as health care and public safety.
