USTelecom debuted a Web site on broadband policy and proclaiming the group “The Broadband Association.” The public shift from voice to broadband is simply “calling it what it is,” USTelecom President Walter McCormick said in an interview. “The future of communications is in broadband,” he said. The phrase “Broadband Association” helps identify USTelecom’s membership and reflects changes in the kinds of companies coming to trade shows and working on policy, he said. USTelecom recently recruited Japan broadband giant NTT as a member. And the entertainment industry is taking an increasing part at USTelecom conferences, McCormick said.
