The US Broadband Coalition, an organization of more than 160 organizations whose goal is to advance the quality and penetration of broadband in the United States, has issued a report that summarizes the state of broadband and makes policy recommendations.
Excerpt from executive summary:
This report describes the opportunities that universal, affordable, and robust broadband connectivity will create for America; discusses national broadband goals; offers a range of policy options to stimulate broadband adoption and use and build-out, and to develop effective tools to measure progress and foster accountability in reaching the goals. It fulfills the commitment that US Broadband Coalition made in our Call to Action released last December to continue to work together to address key issues and policy priorities. Our effort was reinforced when Congress included a provision in the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) requiring the Federal Communications Commission to develop and deliver to Congress within one year a report setting forth a national broadband plan (NBP). The plan was to address many of the issues that the Coalition had set forth in its Call to Action.
