FCC's Martin: Open Networks Becoming the Norm

Federal Communications Commission Chairman Kevin Martin says openness is here to stay. Reflecting on his chairmanship, he says he guided the telecom industry toward greater network openness and managed to do so without relying too much on the heavy hand of regulation. Martin talked of the balancing act between carriers -- who are reluctant to open access to their networks -- and the growing demands of device and application makers, who insist on an open-platform model.
