A key recommendation provided by the FCC Task Force studying broadband wireless is good news! Less regulation is better than more. The marketplace of providers is the best way to expand these services.
I hope the Vermont regulators follow this lead in their approach to all digital services. The time of heavy regulation should come promptly to an end.
"Apply a pro-competitive, innovative national framework for wireless broadband services – one that imposes the fewest regulatory barriers at both the federal and state level – to wireless
broadband services. Such an approach would enable the greatest innovations, in terms of technologies and types of services, and would maximize consumer benefits. The Task Force recommended that the Commission consider several options for achieving this goal, including classifying wireless broadband either as an “information service” or an “interstate” service, or clarifying the scope of the deregulatory principles applied to Commercial Mobile
Radio Services (CMRS) – which enabled the rapid success of mobile voice and data services over the last decade."
