TO: Gerry Gerardi, Office of Tax Policy, Treasury Department

 

 

FROM: Stan Fendley, Government Affairs, Corning Incorporated

 

 

SUBJECT: Sidak, Singer Study on Broadband Incentive

 

 

DATE: October 3, 2000

 

 

Gerry,

[1] Thanks for meeting with us yesterday regarding the Broadband Internet Access Act of 2000, introduced by Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan and Congressman Phil English.

[2] Attached is the study I mentioned, prepared by Greg Sidak and Hal Singer of Criterion Economics (with input from Kevin Hassett.) Note that this study relates to an EARLIER PROPOSAL for a broadband incentive, which was never introduced in Congress. That earlier proposal provided an incentive SOLELY for "Next Generation Broadband Sservice" and did NOT include "Current Generation Broadband Service," as included in the Moynihan-English bill.

[3] The authors have not updated their study to reflect the Moynihan-English bill as introduced, but have spent some time estimating its effects. I will ask Kevin Hassett to give you a call to bring you up to speed on their work.

[4] Thanks, again. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions. I can be reached at 202-682-3133.

Sincerely,

 

 

Stan Fendley

 

Director, Legislative and

 

Regulatory Policy
