FCC –Since 2002 the FCC has classified broadband as an “information service”, not a “telecommunications service” –This limits the FCC regulatory control over service provider policies FCC can “…exercise only indirect “ancillary” authority” The FCC Chairman takes the middle ground –Service providers threaten to slow the National Broadband Plan if broadband is reclassified as a telecommunications service –Genachowski will use a different approach Recognize the transmission component of broadband access service—and only this component—as a telecommunications service; Apply only a handful of provisions of Title II (Sections 201, 202, 208, 222, 254, and 255) that, prior to the Comcast decision, were widely believed to be within the Commission’s purview for broadband May 2010 Rich Kennedy, Research In MotionSlide 12
