If comments by the individual Commissioners are any indication, the ones made by the Chairman should be most telling for you.

If you read slowly, you'll note that he believes it would have been appropriate to include examples of reasonable requirements. And, he gave an example that would allow a petitioner at least 10 years and likely more ... again, if you read slowly.

The end of Chairman Martin's statement said:

"Addressing build-out requirements was particularly difficult. This item seeks to strike
a balance between encouraging as widespread deployment of broadband as possible while
not deterring entry altogether. I believed it would have been appropriate to provide examples
of build-out requirements that would be reasonable in addition to illustrating those that could
not be.1

1 For example, I would have been willing to find that it would seem reasonable for an LFA to require that,
beginning five years after the effective date of a new entrant’s franchise and every 3 years thereafter, if in the
portion of the franchise area where the new entrant has chosen to offer cable service at least 15 percent of the
households subscribe to such service, the new entrant increase by 20 percent the households in the franchise area to which the new entrant offers cable service by the beginning of the next 3-year interval, until the new
entrant is capable of providing cable service to all households in the franchise area."

Has anyone been able to find the text of the order?
The only things published so far on the FCC web site are the Press Release & the statements by the Commissioners. The actual order may not show up for awhile yet.

Based on the various comments, is sounds as if they term "unreasonable" still remains undefined. I am particularly interested in how an unreasonable buildout schedule was defined.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17495396 Wed, 20 Dec 2006 16:32:29 EDT
