FCC Wireless Decision Will Promote Broadband Access

The Federal Communications Commission’s decision to allow wireless devices to operate in open broadcast television spectrum or “white spaces” is very promising for areas that are unserved or underserved in the market for broadband services. Everyone in our nation should have access to the life-enhancing benefits of broadband and this decision can help move us closer to that goal.

[Joy Howell, Broadband Changed My Life! Campaign Director]

Rob Atkinson is absolutely right. Every day we hear from people who can't imagine life without broadband. They use it for work, play, keeping in touch, research, entertainment, telehealth and so on. We need to do whatever we can to get broadband to every one in the country as fast as we can do it. Hopefully the new Administration will make universal broadband a priority
