WIPP Warns FCC: Additional Regulations Harmful to Broadband Deployment
7:46 PM July 14, 2010
Yesterday, WIPP submitted comments to the FCC on the issue of broadband, and why it is
important to move forward with full deployment of broadband. The reclassification of broadband Internet service as "information service" will ultimately hinder small business access, investment, and the adoption of broadband. Full deployment of broadband is critical to the success of small
businesses, many of whom rely on access to the latest technologies for their
success.
In our comments, we urged the FCC to consider the following:
· Continue to classify
broadband Internet services as an "information service"
· Encourage small
business participation, especially women business owners, during FCC
deliberations
· Urge the Commission
to refrain from actions that would impede small business growth

Broadband technology is a vital tool for economic success. It creates jobs by
making businesses more competitive and efficient. WIPP urges the Commission to
move forward with full deployment.
