Is DC telecom to-do list too long?
January 15, 2010
[Commentary] Has there ever been a more important year for the telecommunications industry?
Here's the 2010 agenda:
1) Broadband stimulus grants,
2) The National Broadband Plan,
3) Network Neutrality,
4) Reform of the Universal Service Fund, and
5) Seemingly "smaller issues" - like FCC inquiries into the move to all-IP networks, bandwidth management, behavioral and targeting advertising, and spectrum allocations (and re-allocations) for white space data, public safety applications and more.
Can the Federal Communications Commission and Congress handle all this?
