We have to put some rules--build out requirements and rules around anti-redlining into effect.
We need to make sure that not only are we giving folks the broadband that they need but that they are prepared to use it in a way that is helpful to them and their communities' economic development.
I do not agree with Professor Francis' analysis here. And I also, in terms of--there was a suggestion that adding consumer welfare--those words--into the statute of AICOA would be a good thing. I disagree with that.
I believe that AICOA specifically targets anticompetitive harms, and I don't believe that content moderation on a platform--a single platform is necessarily an anticompetitive harm.
