RED HERRING | Intel Backs Public Networks
RED HERRING | Intel Backs Public Networks: "Intel has endorsed legislation that would allow cities to participate in high-speed Internet networks, a move that thrusts the company into the municipal broadband debate.
In a statement about the bill, S. 1294, Intel Communications Policy Director Peter Pitsch said Friday it 'strikes an appropriate balance between pre-empting state prohibitions on the municipalities that provide broadband service and requiring municipalities to operate in a competitively neutral manner under open, transparent processes.'"
