National Broadband Plan: Analysis & Strategy for Connecting America

Broadband is the great infrastructure challenge of the early 21st century. Like electricity a century ago, broadband is a foundation for economic growth, job creation, global competitiveness and a better way of life. It is enabling entire new industries and unlocking vast new possibilities for existing ones. It is changing how we educate children, deliver health care, manage energy, ensure public safety, engage government, and access, organise and disseminate knowledge. But broadband in America is not all it needs to be. Approximately 100 million Americans do not have broadband at home. This book explores and analyses The National Broadband Plan.
