FCC kills build-out requirements for telecoms' video services (updated)

(Okay, maybe this Google toolbar is worth something, after all...)

I was just talking to my Dad about this!! I had predicted that within 5 years the FCC would revamp the laws regarding cable providers and telecom carriers. Little did I know that it would happen within TWO DAYS!

It will be fascinating to watch the fallout from this. It seems like towns are getting the shaft, and corporations will be able to steamroll right through. Is that a bad thing? I'm not sure. It's gonna be an interesting couple of months, as the Forces of Indifference do battle with the Brigade of Apathy. Well, at least that's how it stands with me. Until I can determine my own course of action (if I were in charge) then I can't really judge either side (towns vs. corps) as being Right.

Anyway, this little revision by the FCC will keep me blogging for a while, I'm sure.

The Commissioner of the FCC is named Copps. That's right. Commissioner Copps. Achtung!


He hears noth-INK!

The article I emailed my Dad was this one.
