NYC Broadband Regulation Panel Discussion (fwd)

[Heiko Recktenwald <uzs106@ibm.rhrz.uni-bonn.de>]

Vielleicht sehr amerikanisch, diese Debatte, die Kabel fuers
Kabelfernsehen werden da von den Kommunen regiert und die haben bisher
fuer Offenheit gesorgt, dass also ueber das Bertelsmannkabel auch Sat 1
geht, etc. Tun sie aber nicht mehr. Und die FCC schaut zu.

Broadband:  Whose Data Pipe is the Internet Anyway?

When Congress passed the Telecommunications Act in 1996, the Internet
was hardly a blip on the regulatory radar.  In a mere three years,
however, the Internet is increasingly the driving force in
telecommunications business and regulatory decisions.  This program will
attempt to clear the confusion about one of the key issues in the
intersection of the Internet and telecommunications policy:  the
regulatory debate about the fast-data transmission by cable, telephone,
and other technologies.
