Intel Seeks FCC Aid In Promoting Broadband Deployment

[BROADBAND] 09/26/01

Chip manufacturer Intel on Tuesday filed a pleading with the Federal
Communications Commission (FCC) asserting that current regulations are
"undermining" the delivery of broadband Internet services to American
consumers. Intel characterized the current broadband market as
"discouraging," and, citing anticipated benefits to the economy, urged the
FCC to review the regulations that apply to broadband providers in order to
encourage investment in the infrastructure needed to bring high-speed
Internet access to the home. According to Intel, under section 706(a) of the
Telecommunications Act of 1996, the FCC is "obligated to promote the
reasonable and timely deployment of broadband through a variety of
regulatory tools." At a minimum, the company asserts, the FCC should propose
deregulating all new, last mile broadband investment to "encourage the
fastest possible deployment of the highest speed technology." Peter Pitsch,
the director of communications policy for Intel, told Newsbytes the company
simply wants the FCC to act on the broadband issue in order to begin the
process of improvement. "We are proposing the Commission undertake an effort
in a more comprehensive way - that they undoubtedly would have sooner or
later - but in an expeditious way," said Pitsch. "Regulations are
undercutting the telephone companies' incentive to deploy risky and
expensive fiber and DSL (digital subscriber line) electronics."
