Access to broadband is an important issue because broadband is a facilitator of so many diverse national initiatives, including economic development, public safety, healthcare, education, and entertainment. Broadband opens many doors of opportunities to job seekers, entrepreneurs, business owners, and employers. It is critical that innovation continues to drive application development, and both the availability and adoption of broadband continues to rise.
This is an incredibly exciting time for broadband. International attention has been focused on global broadband penetration, and in the United States, the National Broadband Plan was published to guide national broadband strategy and distribute broadband funding for many new projects. In addition, many innovative applications, platforms, and devices are being developed to leverage broadband technology. Watch this site for coverage of all these topics, including commentary and emerging trends in the broadband industry.
