U.S. Telecom Reform Bill Meets Opposition
Grant Gross writes in InfoWorld:
Republican draft legislation that would largely deregulate Internet Protocol-based services such as broadband video favors giant incumbent telecommunications carriers over other competitors, complained some witnesses and lawmakers during a hearing in the U.S. House of Representatives Wednesday.
The staff draft, revised from a bipartisan draft released in September, streamlines video franchising requirements, allowing large telecom carriers such as Verizon Communications Inc. and SBC Communications Inc. to compete with cable television providers without securing franchise agreements from multiple local governments.
