How to Map in the National Interest and Fred Goldstien on Divesiture 2.0 as a New FCC Agenda

We present two interviews.  The first with Sara Wedeman explains what is wrong with attempts at Broadband Mappng to date and describes what is needed to do it properly. Connecting to the thought of Armatya Sen, Sara also describes why it must not only be done with defensible metrics but must also involve people at fine levels of detail rather than mere geography.

Fred Goldstein takes us throiugh his March 6th presentation at the 25 th Anniversary of Divestiture meeting sponsored by Teletruth in New York Citry.  Fred explains in clear terms how dsecisions of the FCC in the 1980s made the Internet possible and shows how the Bush FCC set out to dismantle it in 2001. He concludes by explaining how a fresh diverstiture into LoopCo and ServiceCo can be in the interests of all the stake holders, except for the salaries of the highest level incumbent executrives.
