Joy Howell Discusses Broadband on CNN Radio

Joy Howell did a CNN Radio interview Tuesday, Nov. 25, that was broadcast on CNN radio stations coast to coast. The topic was what could be done to encourage more broadband deployment and adoption and whether President-elect Barack Obama would implement such policies. Howell, director of APT’s Broadband Changed My Life! Campaign, discussed the campaign’s “Tell the Next President Contest” for which several hundred people have written in to share the stories of how broadband changed their lives. They have shared stories of distance learning, getting online degrees via broadband, using technology to get medical care from physicians thousands of miles away for management of chronic conditions and diagnostic services, or for those with limited mobility to reach out and touch the outside world. The U.S. should get broadband to citizens nationwide regardless of where they live.
