Wallsten publishes new paper on the “Path to Universal Broadband”
Scott Wallsten, Vice President for Research and Senior Fellow at the Technology Policy Institute, has published a new paper with colleague Gregory Rosston titled “The Path to Universal Broadband: Why We Should Grant Low-Income Subsidies and Use Experiments and Auctions to Determine the Specifics.” The authors argue that the switch from voice to broadband services provides a rare opportunity to reform universal service programs. Rosston and Wallsten offer an alternative design to deliver services in an efficient and politically-palatable manner. The full paper can be read here.
