FCC'S WIRELINE BROADBAND ORDER UPHELD
[SOURCE: Third Judicial Circuit]
A federal appeals court on Tuesday refused to overturn the Federal
Communications Commissions 2005 ruling to deregulate high-speed Internet
access service that phone companies offer to consumers. The ruling, handed down
by a three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 3rd Circuit in
Philadelphia, affirmed the regulatory status quo in which neither cable nor
phone companies need to share their networks with companies that would also
like to provide broadband access. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third
Circuit in Time Warner Telecom, Inc. et al., v. FCC has denied a petition for
review of the FCC's Wireline Broadband Order. FCC Chairman Martin responded
saying, "I am pleased that the Court affirmed the FCC's decision to remove
outdated, decades-old regulations from today's broadband services. By removing
such regulations, the Commission encouraged broadband investment and fostered
competition. As a result of the Commission's deregulatory policies, broadband
adoption has increased and consumers have benefited in the form of lower prices
and improved broadband service."
