UK Going Left On Broadband
Posted by Dana Blankenhorn
The U.S. is gutting the 1996 Telecommunications Act, aiming to re-establish the Bell and cable co-monopoly and control broadband access.
Meanwhile the UK is breaking up the same monopoly. UK regulator Ofcom said "the key to the next stage will be the opening up of BT's network to other operators."
They're right. And they'd be right here too. If you care about America's future place in the broadband world, this should concern you.
