Activists Worry 'Third Way' Lets Wireless Industry Off Easy

摘要

Free Press and Public Knowledge said they're concerned that wireless is getting special treatment in a notice of inquiry about FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski’s "third way" broadband reclassification proposal. That's based on discussions they’ve held at the commission and on a notice for the June commission meeting. "We are perplexed as to why the FCC's announcement seems to contemplate a separate treatment for wireless networks under the law," Free Press said in a written statement. "All of the reasons that consumers need protection in the wired broadband market apply equally to wireless."
