FCC Will Push Broadband Plan Despite Court Setback

The Federal Communications Commission is moving forward with its National Broadband Plan despite a court setback. FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski said the court ruling on Comcast only invalidated one mechanism. The FCC has options to regulate and expand Internet service. Wireless carriers want the FCC to expand the spectrum for broadband.

In the wake of a court decision earlier this week that invalidated some of its Internet regulatory authority, the Federal Communications Commission is moving forward with its ambitious National Broadband Plan. The agency said its plan will "connect all Americans to broadband, unleash innovation and investment," and enable the creation of jobs.
