Heat over FCC hires

Federal Communications Commission (FCC) officials are feeling heat  
from the left over an economist who was hired to help improve the  
nation's high-speed Internet service despite dismissing concerns that  
U.S. broadband access lags behind other nations. Scott Walls ten, a  
senior fellow at the Technology Policy Institute, joined the FCC's  
Broadband Task Force last month. He previously worked at the Progress  
and Freedom Foundation and the American Enterprise Institute, where he  
often took the position that the U.S. broadband market is in good  
shape and does not need to be addressed by policymakers. Liberal  
public interest groups say that's a curious background for someone  
whose job is to create policy to increase broadband access.
