An Aggressive Play
Even though its August, a historically slow month in Washington, DC, that hasn’t stopped the FCC from engaging in meetings with key stakeholders regarding Net neutrality and broadband classification discussions.
With those conversations taking place, NextGenWeb wanted to track down leading thinkers and important voices that have recently published opinion pieces on the issue of broadband governance and classification. Our search brought us to Hance Haney of the Discovery Institute.
Haney recently had a special opinion piece published in the Sacramento Bee where he laid out the negative consequences that increased broadband regulation would have on jobs. Referring to the FCC’s apparent inclinations to regulate broadband, Haney stated, “It’s an aggressive play that will almost certainly land in court, and the results will have serious long-term impacts to consumers and small businesses throughout the country, including future job growth.”
NextGenWeb caught up with Haney to further discuss his position. Click below to watch the interview.
