Don't blink: Hard-charging FCC turns broadband plan into action
Federal Communications Commission watchers everywhere, gird thy loins. However frenetic you thought it was in FCC-land back during the media ownership, Comcast P2P, or Sirius XM merger wars, forget it. The Commission has just laid out the road map and schedule for implementing its National Broadband Plan, and it looks pretty relentless—crucial rulemakings lined up back to back through the rest of the year and into 2011.
And to heck with that court decision invalidating the FCC's sanctions against Comcast for BitTorrent throttling, proclaimed FCC Chair Julius Genachowski on Thursday. "The court did not question the FCC’s goals," he declared. "It merely invalidated one technical, legal mechanism for broadband policy chosen by prior Commissions."
