  FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski said Wednesday that the pace of broadband adoption is too slow and called on cable operators to step up their efforts. For his part, National Cable & Telecommunications Association President Michael Powell said the industry was committed to being a partner in that effort.
  
  That came in a conversation between the two old friends to kick off Wednesday morning's general session at The Cable Show in Chicago. Genachowski's office had tipped his hand the night before in speech highlights that emphasized the adoption issue, which Powell teed up as the last question of the interview.
  
  Echoing Powell's phrase in his keynote of the day before, Genachowski said broadband adoption is what "powers the American dream," and empowers people to find and get jobs, an education, and healthcare.
