about a moment worth
remembering. To
a packed audience in
Alexandria, Virginia,
on October 31, CLIC's
President, Jim Baller,
led a refreshing
discussion on a new

Director of National

set the tone of the

noted how the Knight
Foundation
emphasizes the
importance of
access and equity as
new internet
applications unfold.
Gail then introduced
Jim Baller, who
guided Jon Sallet
(Senior Fellow at
the Benton

data-rich-text-format-boundary="true">The Goal of the Report:</em></strong></span><br>
<strong
data-rich-text-format-boundary="true">Jon
Sallet:</strong> Our
report has a very
simple goal. By the
end of the next
decade, everyone in
America should be able
to have affordable
access to
high-performance
broadband and the
ability to use
it. Consumers should
have robust,
competitive choices,
over networks that are
fit for the future and
readily scalable to
meet demand that we
can't predict.

style="color:#0000FF"><strong><em>Overbuilding</em></strong>:</span><br>
<strong>Jon Sallet</strong>:
When we say in the
Report that
overbuilding
enhances
competition, we are
emphasizing that the
mode of analysis
should be a
competition
analysis. We should
be focusing on the
ultimate benefits to
consumers, including
the competitive
benefits resulting
from pushing
incumbents to
provide better
services and to
charge competitive
prices. Absent some
anti-competitive
conduct, we believe
in a system based on
the principle that
“The More
Competitors the
Merrier.”</p>

Cerf:</strong>
Monopolies should
only be tolerated if
they can't be
avoided, and when
monopolies are
unavoidable, they
should be subject to
meaningful
regulatory checks
and balances. More
important, suppose
that a community is
served inadequately
or not at all by a
monopoly. Why on
earth should the
community be
prevented from
investing in a
network that serves
its needs? If
someone is
complaining that
government shouldn’t
compete with the
private sector,
that’s baloney.<br>
<br>
<strong>Jon
Sallet: </strong>The
FCC measures
presence of
broadband providers
and systematically
overcounts the
presence of
competitors....Over
70% of Americans
either have no
choice for fixed
broadband or a
monopoly or one
choice—that is to
say—a duopoly. I am
a competition policy
guy. We don't
believe two is
enough to be fully
competitive.</p>

Sallet:</strong>
The Report has pages
and pages of
recommendations.
Many of them were
based on what people
around the country
were doing,
sometimes
successfully,
sometimes
not. That’s
important because
municipalities are
serving as what
Louis Brandeis
called
laboratories.” They
are trying things
out. Sometimes open
access middle mile,
sometimes retail
service, sometimes
working with rural
electric coops,
sometimes working
with electric
systems, sometimes
entering into new
forms of partnership
between private and
public entities.
What is important
about these
recommendations is
that they were based
on what we saw in
operation.</p>
