  • (Net Neutrality) at the FCC: a Reply to Faulhaber, Singer, and Urschel
    International Journal of Communication 11(2017), Feature 2702–2733 1932–8036/2017FEA0002 A Curious Tale of Economics and Common Carriage (Net Neutrality) at the FCC: A Reply to Faulhaber, Singer, and Urschel DWAYNE WINSECK1 Carleton University, Canada JEFFERSON D. POOLEY Muhlenberg College, USA This reply to “The Curious Absence of Economic Analysis at the Federal Communications Commission” by Faulhaber, Singer, and Urschel makes three claims. First, we document the paper’s undisclosed origins as a white paper commissioned by an advocacy group with deep ties to the telecommunications industry. Second, we describe two of the authors’ active participation, on behalf of clients, in a range of contested issues before the FCC in recent years. Finally, our review of FCC workshops, roundtables, seminars, dockets, and rulings—including during its landmark 2015 Open Internet Order and several blockbuster mergers and acquisitions—provides detailed evidence to refute the paper’s core “curious absence” charge. The stakes could not be higher, we conclude, as the new FCC chair, Ajit Pai, has repeatedly referenced the paper to justify his rollback of FCC regulations—including, crucially, the common carriage/net neutrality rules so vigorously opposed by the paper’s funders. Keywords: broadband Internet access regulation, common carriage, net neutrality, economics, FCC, politics of knowledge, communication history The title startled both of us: “The Curious Absence of Economic Analysis at the Federal Communications Commission” (Faulhaber, Singer, & Urschel, 2017). The paper, authored by Gerald R. Faulhaber, Hal J. Singer, and Augustus H. Urschel, tells the story of the rise and fall of economic analysis at the FCC, with the Commission’s landmark 2015 decision to reclassify broadband Internet access services as “common carriers”—the bedrock historical principle underpinning what most people know as “net neutrality”—held up as Exhibit A in support of the authors’ “curious absence” allegation.

  • Grantee Changes and Corrections
    CHANGES AND CORRECTIONS FOR APRIL 2014 MERGERS AND ACQUISITIONS Throughout the course of the SBI program, CN has maintained a repository of electronic records related to its provider outreach activities. Due to the high volume of mergers and acquisitions (M&A) within the provider community, CN continues to maintain a listing of M&A activities as a way of supplementing the Provider Changes and Corrections. M&A activities for this submission period for the state of Alaska are listed below with a brief description and date as obtained through public records or provider disclosure. The Alaska Wireless Network, LLC (AWN) is a new provider created through the joint contribution of mobile assets provided by both GCI Wireless and Alaska Communications. This included their Spectrum holdings, as well as towers, Wi-Fi networks, and transmission equipment including facilities necessary to operate the newly formed organization. Data was collected and is being submitted during the April 2014 SBI submission for this newly formed provider. On July 9, 2013, Sprint completed the transaction to acquire 100% ownership of Clearwire. The fixed wireless services previously represented by Clearwire were acquired by Sprint as well, however the spectrum utilized for these services will be reallocated and therefore are no longer present. DATASET CHANGES AND CORRECTIONS As requested by the SBI Program Office, a listing of the changes and/or corrections to the datasets between the October 2013 and April 2014 submissions is included in this narrative. This information is presented in this section as well as in the Broadband Provider Log. Changes to the data include expansion of service area(s), activation of new wireless towers, and upgrades to the network to provide higher download speeds to consumers.
