October 16, 2005 By Reed Hundt For the past two years, everyone in Washington has agreed that the country needs a new telecommunications law.

If a law will give us that, then Congress should pass that law. In a hurry. We can start by identifying some things not to do. For example, Louisiana and Florida adopted legislation in recent years intended to slow the deployment of municipal wireless broadband communications networks. These states are not alone; a dozen other legislatures have tried to slow the deployment of municipal broadband.
