Classifying Broadband as Telecom Would Slow National Broadband Plan, Obama Is Warned

摘要

Classifying broadband as a telecommunications service would impose a "heavy regulatory environment" that would slow the implementation of the National Broadband Plan, Women Impacting Public Policy wrote President Barack Obama. The legal and political battles that would follow such a decision would cause "undue and unnecessary delays and frustration," said WIPP President Barbara Kasoff. The group also wants the FCC to listen to small businesses, particularly those owned by women. Kasoff said the group has also spoken to White House advisers and Small Business Administration liaisons.
