FCC Chair Trots Out Tired Telecom Trade Show Talk
from the broken-record dept
The Globalcomm telecommunications trade show is this week in Chicago, and as is apparently de rigeur at these events, FCC Chairman Kevin Martin's been given a platform to repeat the same old lines that he's said at similar previous events. Basically the gist is this: regulation is bad, okay, and companies -- especially big telcos -- shouldn't be encumbered by any sort of rules so there's a level playing field that encourages competition. Of course, all of this is double-speak. Martin loves regulation when it's politically useful, his idea of a level playing field means one that's slanted towards telcos and his idea of competition is a duopoly. He also remarked that the industry needs to deliver "more innovation" to consumers. Perhaps he should kick things off with some new thinking instead of rehashing these tired -- and ultimately ineffective -- ideas.

Yikes, like any clec could afford to be in business without the large telcos.
Who do you know with 6 billion or so laying around to invest in fiber to the node or house?
Any clecs? Didn't think so.

If only RBOCs were deploying FTTx, there wouldn't be as many FTTx equipment manufactures in the market.
