quote: Not only that. If they do improve the measurement methodology, and admit that broadband deployment is faltering, under the law (1996 Telcom Act), that would require the FCC to start taking immediate action, intervening in the market.
Exactly why they've done nothing to improve their data methodology, correct. It would like require regulation, and you've got a deregulatory think tanker heading the FCC.
Somehow they're wired to spend $400 billion on Iraq, yet $100 million for domestic telecom infrastructure improvements here and there is akin to insanity.
Corporate coddling (mergers with no conditions) and endless incentives with no oversight (ERate) is not a policy. It's pay to play politics. |
