FCC’s Martin revives wireless broadband plan: drops porn filtering

A revised plan for a free wireless broadband service has been put forward by Kevin Martin, the chairman of Federal Communications Commission. This version of the plan removes the controversial porn filtering requirement – and has yet to get acknowledgment from four other members of the board. Martin states:

I’m saying if this is a problem for people, let’s take it away. A lot of public interest advocates have said they would support this, but we’re concerned about the filter. Well, now there’s an item in front of the Commissioners and it no longer has the filter. And I’ve already voted for it without the filter now. So it’s already got one vote.
