FCC Commissioners Haven't Seen Broadband Plan - And Commissioner vote not required when plan is finished..., dslreports
So far we've only seen nebulous, faint outlines of the FCC's national broadband plan, which is due to be presented to Congress in just 43 days. All we really know so far is that Uncle Sam's first ever (and long overdue) broadband plan failed to impress consumer advocates by seemingly ignoring the industry's lack of competition. We also know the plan doesn't really challenge the status quo or entrenched duopoly power, or you'd be hearing a lot more complaining from powerful ISP lobbyists.

CES, Susan Crawford
I’m going to CES along with 110,000+ other people.  Sometimes when I tell people I’m going they give a sort of involuntary shudder.  It’s the bigness, the crowds, the hype that makes them flinch.
