A Q&A with Federal Communications Commission Chairman Julius Genachowski. He says broadband is our generation's major infrastructure challenge -- it is to us what railroads and electricity and highways were to previous generations: connecting all Americans for commerce, a platform for commercial activity and for entrepreneurs to start and grow. It also is a platform to promote a whole series of public benefits that we have always regarded as important: connectivity for news and information, making sure that everyone has access to health care, education. He identifies government's two roles: universality -- making sure that everyone has access to high-speed broadband -- and openness. He also addresses indecency regulation.
