Commissioner Clyburn's Remarks at Incompas Policy Summit

Allow me to highlight where the current Federal Communications Commission’s competition policy needs a makeover, and round things out with a couple of bright spots that are ripe for addressing in a bipartisan way. This Administration seems to only pay lip service, when it comes to ensuring competition, and, what is worse, it has a particularly creative view of what kind of services actually “count” as competitive. But I always seek out a silver lining no matter how gray or thick the cloud formation. First, we can take action to unleash competition in multiple-tenant environments. Second, reducing barriers to infrastructure deployment. The clearest way to move forward on pole attachment reform is to adopt a federal-level one-touch make-ready approach.
