Effective broadband policy could fuel economic recovery, SBC's Whitacre says

摘要

[Edward E. Whitacre Jr.] said less than 10 percent of Americans currently have broadband service. One reason for the slow pace of broadband deployment, Whitacre said, is that only one of the competing broadband technologies - telephone company-provided DSL - is regulated. In contrast, cable providers operate unburdened by regulation, he said.
