T he message Federal Commu-
nications Commission Tom
Wheeler shared Monday with The
INCOMPAS Show attendees reiterated a
theme that he stressed when addressing
the event more than a year ago: “Competi-
tion, Competition, Competition.”
Wheeler opened by congratulating
INCOMPAS on its name change, and
quipped, “I can neither confirm nor deny
that your rebranding is what inspired us to
rebrand the non-descriptively termed ‘special
access’ as business data services (BDS).”
Throughout his remarks, Wheeler
focused on competition for BDS, competition
in the video marketplace and competi-
tion for new services and innovation that
flows from an open Internet.
Starting with BDS, the Chairman said,
“Last week, INCOMPAS and Verizon made
an important contribution to the public
discussion by submitting a joint letter
calling upon us to adopt a new approach
to special access regulation.”
He said this action demonstrated that
the market is changing.
“The principles you and Verizon articulated
are very important and will be very helpful
to the Commission as it moves forward,”
