- Title
A LITE TOUCH ON BROADBAND: ACHIEVING THE OPTIMAL REGULATORY EFFICIENCY IN THE INTERNET BROADBAND MARKET.
- Authors
Epstein, Julian
- Abstract
This Essay argues that broadband technology, which is revolutionizing the burgeoning Internet community should not be subjected to heavy-handed governmental regulations mandating open access to the technology. Rather, the author asserts that a mere clarifying amendment to the Telecommunications Act of 1996 will create the necessary safeguards against possible monopoly control of the broadband market and the inefficiencies that would accompany such monopolization. This "hands off" approach will also optimize competition and innovation.
