Comments of PK, et al., Providing Eligible Entities Access to
Aggregate Form 477 Data as Required by the Broadband Data Improvement
Act

Public Knowledge (PK), the Media Access Project (MAP), and the New
America Foundation (NAF) (collectively PK, et al.) submit the
following comments in the above captioned proceeding.

Broad public access to Form 477 data is essential for making informed
broadband infrastructure choices, in the same way that access to
education and information is essential to making a democracy work. Using
Form 477 data, stakeholders including concerned individuals, academics,
and broadband providers will be able to perform the analysis necessary to
make informed decisions about broadband access and how to efficiently
allocate their resources. Disseminating this data will therefore
encourage broadband deployment, particularly in unserved and underserved
areas, by allowing broadband providers to effectively, efficiently, and
competitively build out the nation's broadband infrastructure.

Public Knowledge submits the following comments in the above captioned
proceeding. The opportunity to shape our nations’ first National
Broadband Plan drew hundreds of comments producing thousands of pages of
recommendations and evidence. Public Knowledge (PK) could not hope to
cover in detail every comment deserving of support or requiring
refutation. As the Commission continues to develop its broadband plan in
cooperation with the public, PK anticipates that it will provide more
detailed additional comments and responses. To maximize impact at this
early stage, PK focuses these reply comments on a set of foundational
issues that, in combination with the initial comments, provide a
framework for moving forward.

Re: Special Access for Price Rates for Price Cap Local Exchange Carriers WC Docket No. 05-25

Dear Acting Chairman Copps:

Fair prices and conditions for special access are essential for the future of broadband deployment and a vibrant wireless market. The above captioned proceeding therefore has greater significance than as an "industry food fight" between sophisticated competitors. Resolution of the special access proceeding will have significant impact on the future of the economic recovery, job creation, health care, education technology, and e-commerce. For this reason, the Commission must act quickly to impose rules that will ensure reasonable rates for special access, rather than delay this four year old proceeding with yet another data request. If the Commission does decide it must refresh the record for the second time since beginning this proceeding in 2005, it should issue a short, targeted request enforced by the power to compel full responses from incumbent and competitive providers.
