FCC Dems Support Genachowski on Possible FCC Reclassification

Congress Daily reportedthat with the support of Federal Communication Commission (FCC)'s  Democratic Commissioners Michael Copps and Mignon Clyburn, the FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski appears to have the votes he needs to reclassify broadband as a heavily regulated telecommunications service. Such possible regulatory change has come forth ever since a federal appeals court recently issued a decision undermining the Commission's regulatory authority over broadband service. The Commission has already acknowledged that this ruling may hinder its ability to implement some of the key provisions in its recently released National Broadband Plan.
