FCC Chairman at All Things Digital

The Wall Street Journal's Walt Mossberg opened a session of D: All Things Digital Conference with an angry tirade against the s-s-s-low state of broadband in the United States. The target of his wrath was Federal Communications Commission Chairman Kevin Martin. Mossberg asked, "You are the head of the FCC. How have you allowed this to happen?" Chairman Martin replied, "I am not sure I am solely responsible." "We spend $6 billion a year on infrastructure for telephone networks. I think we need to move that to subsidized broadband."
