DIGITAL AGE COMMUNICATIONS ACT

Policymakers from the last five presidential administrations are joining
forces with The Progress & Freedom Foundation to draft model
communications
policy legislation. Their collective goal is to ensure deregulated
competition in services and platforms now, while crafting language that
can
anticipate future technologies and services. The project, called The
Digital Age Communications Act (DACA), was launched at a press
conference
today and comes as Congress is considering an overhaul of communications
law. PFF has a pro-business philosophy, and among its supporters are the
Bells, NCTA, CTIA, USTA, Sprint, Nextel, Level 3, Western
Wireless,  Comcast, Disney, EchoStar, Motorola, News Corp., Sony Music,
Time Warner, Viacom, Vivendi Universal and high technology companies.
