Broadband Internet: to be or not to be

Bringing broadband internet to U.S. homes is one of key IT goals for the Obama administration.  But the initiative requires examining other related issues as well.  They include, for example, net neutrality and spectrum.  It is difficult to say what the policy future holds for broadband internet.  But to not pursue this, to not fulfill this necessity would be highly counterproductive to the growth of this society as a whole.

Pew Research Center's internet division produced a brilliant study on broadband use in the U.S.  The link follows:
