Union Square Ventures wants broadband reclassification

Brad Burnham, founding partner of Union Square Ventures and an investor in some cutting-edge tech firms, thinks that the Federal Communications Commission should reclassify broadband as a telecommunications service.

Burnham -- whose venture capital firm has invested in companies including Twitter, Foursquare, Zynga, and Boxee -- says he thinks broadband access providers need a strong watchdog to ensure that smaller Web companies get a fair shot at growing.
