[title] => Public Knowledge Challenges FCC On Data Caps
[body] =>
The
following is attributed to Harold Feld, legal director for Public Knowledge:
"The statement today from Federal
Communications Commission (FCC) Chairman Julius Genachowski that data caps are
simply another 'business model innovation' presents a false picture.
"The question is not, as the chairman said, whether
there is only one model. The question is, will all the benefits of broadband
Chairman Genachowski has articulated in the past ever happen in a world where
broadband providers get a free pass on any pricing scheme or restriction if
they use the magic words 'bandwidth cap'? If we really want to see students
downloading textbooks or watching Harvard lectures online, it would be nice to
know if they will ever have the bandwidth capacity to do so.
"We still do not know how the caps are set, how they
are evaluated and how they affect consumers. Until the FCC answers those questions that Public Knowledge has asked, it should not be
endorsing any pricing scheme that has the potential to drive up costs for
consumers as this does. Also
unanswered is the question what counts against the cap and what doesn't. Companies should not be able to exempt
their content from the cap while counting the same type of content supplied by
others."
