Broadband Plan Criticized
From this morning's Earlybird:
• The Federal Communications Commission "was criticized Wednesday over the direction of its sweeping national broadband plan from an unlikely source: Consumer advocates worried it has abandoned the idea of curbing the market domination of telecommunications and cable companies," CongressDailyAM (subscription) reports.
• "Counterfeiters in recent years have become increasingly savvy about reproducing holiday lights with logos purporting to be from independent safety-certification laboratories, industry and safety groups say. Such products also may have fake trademarks of reputable manufacturers," the Wall Street Journal reports. "No federal law mandates third-party testing for electrical products, but many retailers require it. The Consumer Product Safety Commission advises consumers to look for safety certification on products like holiday lights and extension cords."
