"NATIONAL" BROADBAND PLAN A STALKING HORSE FOR REGULATING INTERNET
[SOURCE: Scott Cleland]
[Commentary] A "national broadband plan" is a codeword for a 1970's-style
government "industrial policy" where the government decides what technologies
consumers get and which companies will succeed of fail. By arbitrarily choosing
speeds and arbitrarily setting timetables for deployment, the government is
setting itself up to take a much more proactive and interventionist role in
heavily regulating and managing broadband competition into a utility-like
system.
