Former commissioner of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), Deborah Taylor Tate penned an op-ed for AOL News telling the FCC they’ve gone down the wrong road with regard to regulating the Internet.  Ms. Tate asks both the FCC and Congress to review the successes the Internet has given all of us under what she called “light touch regulation,” and particularly to look at “the massive boom in advanced technologies that continue to offer completely new tools to American consumers each day, provide new jobs and keep us globally competitive.”   Ms. Tate hopes that “the FCC will be guided down a path that leaves broadband free of burdensome regulation and open to innovation and investment — especially in this historic economic downturn.”
