After the keynote, a panel discussed "Global Broadband Rankings: Is the U.S. Falling Behind or Positioned to Leap Forward?" Speakers included George Ford of the Phoenix Center for Advanced Legal & Economic Public Policy Studies; Mark Lloyd of the Center for American Progress; OECD's Taylor Reynolds; Progress and Freedom Foundation's Scott Wallsten; and CompTIA's Roger Cochetti.
During the Q&A, Public Knowledge's Art Brodsky asked: "What is it about the U.K. and some OECD countries that appear to produce better results" with regard to broadband availability and pricing?
Reynolds responded: "The U.S. has taken a different path than most OECD countries. [But] it all boils down to competition." How do we improve competition in the U.S.? Look to European and Asian models, he suggested.
