FCC’s Martin: Broadband Access Is Top Priority

FCC Chairman Kevin Martin in an interview with the Wall Street Journal’s Amy Schatz: “I think the most important policy priority for the commission is setting a regulatory framework that encourages the deployment of broadband. Both on the wireline side and wireless. Broadband and high-speed connections impact the way we communicate, they way we entertain ourselves, the way we educate our children, the way we work at the office and home. It not only impacts every aspect of our lives but interesting benefits for the overall economy.”
And this: “I think the benefits the consumers will receive by having access to broadband and high-speed Internet access are so important that it’s critical that we make sure that the infrastructure can be deployed. I think those benefits outweigh some of the concerns that have been raised.” Article about Martin.
