Re: Watch out! said by ThrowDemsOut:Yeh they better watch out before someone else takes a different stance like Copps. Wonder what changes Copss would make to the FCC dealings with the BELLS. Yep, he might actually starting enforcing federal law, as written in the 1996 Telecom Act, rather than finding all sorts of lame excuses not to (e.g., the infamous "broadband is deployed in the whole county if it is deployed to one person in that county"). Said law requires the FCC to "take action" if they determine broadband isn't being deployed to all Americans in a timely manner.
Of course, the President said we'd all have affordable braodband available to us as of a week ago, so this is all supposed to be a moot point.  |
