NCTA FILES EX PARTE WITH FCC IN RESPONSE TO
COALITION OF BROADBAND USERS
In an Ex Parte letter today to FCC
Chairman Michael Powell and FCC Commissioners, Robert Sachs,
President and CEO of the National Cable &
Telecommunications Association (NCTA), responded to the
assertions of the “Coalition of Broadband Users and
Innovators,” submitted in a letter to the FCC last month.
“We agree that consumer access to Internet content is,
and should be, full and unfettered. To the extent the
Coalition suggests that government action is necessary to
achieve this result, however, we must strongly disagree,”
Sachs writes. “Particularly at this early stage of broadband
development, the government’s primary goal should be to
encourage the massive investment still needed to bring
broadband to every home rather than imposing additional risks
and uncertainties that will only deter such investments.”
