MMTC held its second annual Broadband and Social Justice Summit January 20-21, and was proud to welcome all five FCC Commissioners to speak on several topics. Four Commissioners spoke on day two, and Chairman Julius Genachowski paved the way for them on day one, delivering a generally forward-looking speech. Genachowski's speech focused on the state of the Digital Divide and avenues toward more broadband adoption, revamping spectrum, and the FCC's four part mobile broadband agenda.

Using an illustration of his experience with the 2010 Consumer Electronic Show where every device required Internet access, the Chairman began by highlighting the necessity of Internet to function in the Digital Age. He described the Internet as the “platform for economic growth and job creation...[and] essential to solving national challenges like health care, energy, and education."

Chairman Genachowski is fully on board with the social justice agenda.

Am I to understand that this little pow-wow is to say that broad band is an entitlement, it is racist if there is a disproportionate amount of different groups that have broadband, and people are racist if they do not agree?

Anything with “social justice” in the title is Shiite. ; )

Any time, you hear the term Social Justice, grab your wallet, because somebody wants to “Pick It”.
