FCC Chair Defends Regulations, Calls FCC a ‘Cop on the Beat’

Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Chairman Julius Genachowski defended his agency’s role in regulating broadband Internet, saying that the FCC needed to act like a “cop on the beat.” “We need to protect and promote competition,” Genachowski said at a speech to media firm Vox Communications in Washington on Tuesday. “We know from decades of experience that when it comes to competition in the communications sector, the FCC needs to be a cop on the beat.” http://cnsnews.com/news/article/fcc-chair-defends-regulations-calls-fcc-cop-beat
