This
week, the Free State Foundation published two Perspectives from FSF Scholars. President Randolph May and Visiting
Fellow Gregory Vogt coauthored a paper entitled "It’s
Time for U.S. Leadership Regarding Zero-Rating and Similar Programs." This
Perspectives discusses how zero-rated
services can expand broadband access around the world and why a hands off
approach from the FCC regarding zero-rated services could influence foreign
governments to do the same.
In a
different Perspectives from FSF Scholars
entitled "Video
Report Data Undermine the FCC’s Rationale for New Device Regulation," Senior
Fellow Seth Cooper points out the inconsistencies between the FCC's Seventeenth
Video Competition Report and its February
2016 proposed set-top box rulemaking.
