MMTC Broadband & Social Justice Summit

At the Minority Media & Telecommunications Council's Broadband and Social Justice Summit in Washington, representatives of the cable and broadcast industries made the case for why those technologies would be key players in the wireless broadband space.

David Honig, president of the Minority Media & Telecommunications Council said incentive auctions need to happen now, that broadcasting was still relevant, that minority participation in the media was woefully lacking, that the Federal Communications Commission was well-meaning but failed to see the unintended consequences of media concentration on minorities, and that antipiracy legislation was crucial to preventing the digital theft of the cultural heritage of people of color.
