To the thread: There was an interesting panel discussion last night on C-Span 2 on politics, government and digital technology. The panel discussed the current status of government regulations concerning broadband communications. The panel included VPs from Bell Atlantic, Cox Communications, AOL, and representatives of the FCC, 3-Com, and a few smaller networking and equipment suppliers. The panel brought out loud and clear the need to reform the piecemeal regulatory framework of the FCC, which still looks at local phone companies and cable companies very differently. The scale of the investments involved is also gigantic, and regulatory errors could have a tremendous impact on the range of services available to consumers in a few years. I think that this panel discussion is a must see for all individuals interested in Last Mile access. Hopefully, it will be repeated on C-Span later this week. Best regards, Bernard Levy PS: There was also a panel discussion involving several members of Congress, which was devoid of information, as most congressional speeches usually are. So skip the congresspersons, and listen to the individuals who know what they are talking about.
