Capture The Phone Numbers Using Your Camera Phone
If you have a camera and a 2D matrix code reader on your mobile phone, you can capture the FCC Phone numbers right to your phone by following these three easy steps:
Step 1: Take a photograph of one of the codes below using the camera on your mobile phone.
Step 2: Use your phone's Datamatrix or QR Code reader to decode the information on the photograph. Please note, these code readers are device specific and are available to download on the internet.
Step 3: Store the decoded address information to your phone's address book and use it with your Maps or GPS application.
This video contains lot of talk about competition which doesn't match reality. Here in my urban area, local cable has a de-facto monopoly on Internet access, because the DSL drops out constantly, and is always much slower than advertised speeds. Without regulations forcing truth in advertising, line sharing, and open access networks, there will be no real competition in America. Read your own studies -- you know like the one by the Berkman Center! This "third" or "middle" way is an obvious sell-out to the failed status-quo ISP business models, and it is a disservice to the American people.
I really appreciate the FCC's continued push for competition in broadband access. In particular, I think it's important in the near term to at least preserve the current access to DSL that ISPs have (which expires 6/30/2010), and the current access to copper that CLECs have (which is under thread under forbearance in some regions.)
I hope that the current FCC will work to preserve these critical competitive components in order to preserve consumer choice.
The final third leg is access to cable and new FTTN for ISPs, and access to outside plant fiber for CLECs. With some forward motion on these topics, we might again see some great things in broadband access in the US.
were i live the only decent provider is Verizon in my area and all the DSL slots are full since last october so i am stuck on dial-up
I do not believe the industry is under regulated but not at all, at least in the resent past. With the last court decision and one ISP's decision to impose conditions unrealistic & damaging to the future of internet use and growth, not enough is being done to protect the rights of consumers from companies abuses and the government agencies are either silent or impudent to take action. More has to be done to correct these abuses and future ones being planned as this discussion takes off.
We are in need of new rules and regulations.
There are many online scams going on and many peoples are looted online.
Our government should work on this. and give us an better and googd network.

This is misleading because the Comcast decision gives the FCC the necessary authority. This plan appears to gain more power, outside of Congress, for the FCC to control the Internet. This "oversteps" their authority. More federal control is not needed. What the FCC should do is act within the powers it has to resolve.
