Why Broadband Competition Will Flourish Despite Claims of Net Neutrality Proponents
Telecommunications expert and NETCompetition.org Chairman Scott Cleland says Net Neutrality proponents have an unfounded pessimism and fear about the future of broadband competition.
Washington, DC (PRWEB) October 6, 2006 – Scott Cleland, Chairman of NETCompetition.org, says that pessimism and fear of Net Neutrality proponents about the future of broadband competition is baseless, because huge demand, declining costs, vibrant innovation and exploding spectrum availability fuel future broadband competition.
Cleland clarifies: “Net Neutrality is all about dueling visions of what the future of the net should be. Net neutrality proponents look at potentialities and fear the Net will change for the worse warranting preemptive action to prevent it. Net competition proponents look at the facts and see every reason for optimism that the current competitive trajectory of the Internet and broadband will continue.”
The thrust of Cleland’s argument is that broadband competition will continue to flourish in the future and here is why.
-- First, demand is huge -- rewarding new suppliers with huge growth opportunities.
-- Second, declining costs are lowering the cost of entry and challenging incumbents.
-- Third, vibrant innovation rewards competitors with growth from new products, services, and content.
-- Fourth, exploding spectrum availability enables more competitors and more competitive applications.
-- Finally, convergence fuels competitive bypass undermining potential bottlenecks or gate keepers.
