A conversation with FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski

An interview of Federal Communications Commission Chairman Julius Genachowski -- mainly concerning the National Broadband Plan. Chairman Genachowski seemed confident that, at a minimum, simply giving consumers access to data--how fast their broadband connections actually are, where there are dead spots, and what other ISPs around the country are charging--will prove to be a powerful tool in spurring competition (I tend to agree). He very strongly reiterated his commitment to a neutral and open Internet, which was reassuring.
