"WASHINGTON -- Today, Free Press released Dismantling Digital Deregulation: Toward a National Broadband Strategy, a comprehensive, data-driven analysis of the failed policies at the root of America's broadband decline. As the Federal Communications Commission develops a national broadband plan, the new report offers concrete recommendations for getting America's Internet policy back on track. "America's broadband failures are the result of policy failures -- and the blame falls squarely on the FCC's shoulders," said S. Derek Turner, Free Press research director and author of the report. "The FCC predicted a future of broadband competition, and then regulated as if it were already here. While promising consumer benefits, it tore down consumer protections. Digital deregulation reduced the broadband revolution to broadband mediocrity."" - Steven Perez from Bookmarklet
