[Christine Stineman]

Broadband for America recently released a new television message from BfA Honorary Co-Chairmen Michael Powell and Harold Ford Jr. The new TV spot focuses on the everyday ways Americans are using high-speed Internet connections to improve their health, stay in touch with loved ones overseas and helping kids take advantage of new educational opportunities:
Powell: A lecture on molecular biology in California …is watched in Milwaukee.

Ford: An American soldier overseas …keeps up with his classes back home.

Powell: And somewhere a father helps his daughter find out the name of Saturn’s largest moon. I’m Michael Powell.

Ford: And I’m Harold Ford, and we’re with Broadband for America. Education is about opportunity and broadband has become the great equalizer. Because of broadband’s reach and power to connect—you can be anywhere in America—or anywhere in the world—and you’re never far from a teacher, the world’s libraries, the world’s laboratories.

Powell: Broadband is expanding educational opportunities beyond the classroom, so students can learn, grow, and explore like never before. Learning, at the speed of light. All made possible by continuing private investment and innovation, making the Internet faster, smarter and safer.

Ford: Broadband is working for America.
