U.S. Broadband Policies Should have Narrow Focus

From the press release:

"Although recent international broadband penetration rankings have Congress concerned about U.S. broadband policy, these statistics should not play a large role in forming U.S. broadband policy, explains Scott Wallsten in "Towards Effective U.S. Broadband Policies." In the new Progress on Point released by The Progress & Freedom Foundation, Wallsten identifies many signs that the U.S. broadband market is showing healthy growth. Instead of implementing policies such as forced network sharing or unbundling, policymakers should instead work to reduce barriers to entry into the market."  [RJ]
