For Immediate Release
WASHINGTON, DC – Broadband for America (BfA), a coalition of more than 200 companies and organizations dedicated to the
idea that broadband holds the key to greater prosperity for all
Americans, today congratulated the Federal Communications Commission
(FCC) for the hard work and dedication it has shown in developing the
National Broadband Plan (NBP).
The below statement was released by Broadband for America (BfA) Honorary Co-Chair Michael K. Powell.:
“Broadband for America supports finding ways to deploy broadband in those parts of our country where providing access has proven
uneconomical, and to fostering greater utilization of broadband in those
areas where high-speed Internet connections are available. We believe
that greater broadband usage is essential to meeting many of the
critical challenges facing our country today, including the need for
greater investment and job creation, and the need to remain competitive
in the 21st Century. A stable regulatory environment is
imperative in enabling private companies to maintain, improve and expand
their networks. We hope to continue working with the government to
ensure that no segment of the Internet ecosystem is left behind, and
working with the FCC and the Congress to implement a National Broadband
Plan. We applaud Chairman Genachowski and the FCC for committing to
make the United States second to no one in the digital economy.”
