Video from a recent NAF Event: Fair Play? Competition in the Broadband Marketplace

A recent event at the New America Foundation, featuring former FCC Commissioner Michael Copps - examining the broadband market, addressing the question of how we get to a broadband service that serves as a vital input for innovation, competition, and economic growth. Do we eliminate the Public Switched Telephone Network? Do we foster municipal broadband networks? Was the Telecommunications Act of 1996 a success? Do we need a return to UNI-P?
