Abstract:
This set of comments offers evidence to support the conclusion that the deployment of advanced telecommunications capability is not being deployed to all Americans in a reasonable and timely fashion. We detail how the Commission has ignored the statutory language of the Act (and ultimately the intent of Congress) in the past four Section 706 Reports by focusing on the deployment of non-dial-up Internet services, and not advanced telecommunications services as intended by The Act.
