GET YOUR HANDS OFF THE WEB
[SOURCE: BusinessWeek, AUTHOR: Stephen H. Wildstrom]
[Comentary] The behavior of the top telecommunications
companies, especially Verizon Communications and AT&T,
has convinced me that more government involvement is
needed to keep communications free of corporate
interference. There's a certain irony here. The
carriers warn that without premiums to pay for
advanced services, the U.S. risks falling behind other
nations in broadband. But the U.S. is already losing
ground to the rest of the industrialized world in
broadband speed and percentage of homes served. Last
year the U.S. fell from 12th to 15th in broadband
penetration among 29 countries ranked by the
Organization for Economic Cooperation & Development.
Most of those nations are enthusiastic regulators. The
hands-off approach hasn't served consumers well. And
the Web is far too important to entrust the free flow
of information to the shifting whims of a few big
companies. Government must step in and tell them to
leave our content alone.
