Summary Box: Competition missing from FCC broadband plan, some say

Summary Box: FCC broadband plan faces critics

THE PLAN: The Federal Communications Commission last week unveiled a sweeping plan to bring affordable and faster high-speed Internet access to more Americans.

THE CONCERN: Some experts say the plan is not ambitious enough to close the broadband gap between the U.S. and other industrialized countries, which already have faster Internet connections at lower prices.

WHAT THEY WANT: What’s missing from the FCC plan, they say, is a proposal to bring more competition to a duopoly broadband market controlled by giant phone and cable TV companies.
