Small Business Group Warns Against Title II Reclassification

Many small businesses don’t have access to broadband, and Communications Act Title II reclassification would make things only worse, the Small Business & Entrepreneurship Council said in meeting with FCC Commissioner Mike O’Rielly, according to an ex parte filing posted in docket 14-28 Thursday. Reclassification could “negatively impact small business access to broadband, impair innovation in new tools and services that benefit entrepreneurs” and “drive costs higher,” the group said. It also met with Adonis Hoffman, aide to Commissioner Mignon Clyburn.
