From constructing, reforming, and operating more efficient subsidy programs, to installing regulatory flexibility for operators, to striking the byzantine regulatory straightjacket of socalled “net neutrality,” this Commission has taken necessary actions to facilitate nationwide broadband deployment by the private sector. Of course, more needs to be done, but considering the starting point and where we are today, it is fair to say the Commission is on the right path. In reality, the Commission plays a small role in improving broadband deployment.
