You are hereFCC McDowell's Great WSJ op-ed -- debunks need for new national broadband policy
Submitted by Scott Cleland on Tue, 2007-07-24 12:37
Please read FCC Commissioner Robert McDowell's outstanding op-ed in the Wall Street Journal today. It eviscerates the sloppy thinking and weak evidence of net neutrality/open access proponents that are trying to manufacture a national broadband problem/crisis to justify their new Big Government "National Broadband Policy." This op-ed is particularly timely given the current and tightly coordinated attempts by liberal House and Senate Democrats to establish the groundwork for an abandonment of competition and free market policies in communications and replace it with a new "National Broadband Policy" which is the liberal codeword for a Big Government-managed broadband sector. House Telecom Chairman Ed Markey has had several hearings where the consistent theme has been how compeition and market forces have fallen short for the American consumer and why more government intervention is needed.
So what is the common thread here?
So what are the facts that the liberal Big Government regulatory types are completely ignoring becuase it does support new Big Government regulation of the Internet?
So what's wrong with America's current national broadband policy of promoting competition and deregulation -- nothing!!!
Facts are pesky things. They will be the ultimate downfall of the net neutrality/open access camp.
