Clyburn: FCC Needs To Insure Speed, Price Competition

In testimony prepared for a House oversight hearing, Federal Communications Commission member Mignon Clyburn will say that the national broadband plan should make sure there are least two broadband offerings in every market to insure price and speed competition.

"Competition is the lifeblood of investment, innovation, and affordable prices," she plans to tell the House Communications Subcommittee, adding that absent that competition, cable operators and others have no incentive to improve their service or facilities.
