Scott Walls ten, a senior fellow at the Technology Policy Institute, joined the FCC's Broadband Task Force last month. He previously worked at the Progress and Freedom Foundation and the American Enterprise Institute, where he often took the position that the U.S. broadband market is in good shape and does not need to be addressed by policymakers. Liberal public interest groups say that's a curious background for someone whose job is to create policy to increase broadband access. <http://thehill.com/business-a-lobbying/59135-heat-over-fcc-hires> RSS Feed: <http://www.warpspeed.com/wordpress> ------------------------------------------- Archives: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/247/=now RSS Feed: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/247/ Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com ----- End forwarded message -----
