The Dawn of Free Internet Access?
It's the sort of news that ought to scare the pants off Comcast executives. FCC Chairman Kevin Martin has proposed the commission auction off a
portion of the 25 megahertz spectrum with a free provision -- meaning that whoever licenses the spectrum must provide internet access to people for
free.
We won't know whether the FCC will proceed with the idea (the commissioners vote on June 12), but the fact that the
proposal is even up for consideration must be gratifying to the millions of Comcast and Cox victims who may pay upwards of $40 per month for
shoddy broadband access
and
awful customer service.
A "free" broadband spectrum auction could also help spur internet adoption in the U.S., where there is still a
big gaping divide between the broadband haves and have-nots.
