(NAFB) Billions in federal, state, and local broadband funding efforts are getting deployed to help close the nation’s digital divide. Rick Cimerman is vice president of state affairs for NCTA, the Internet and Television Association. He says new regulations from the Federal Communications Commission will harm broadband deployment to rural communities.
He talks about the bigger picture in closing the broadband gap.
Cimerman says the FCC needs to focus more on removing roadblocks to deployment.
State leaders can take common-sense steps to help.
Cimerman says the opportunity to connect all of America is there now. Success depends on removing roadblocks to broadband deployment, not adding more of them. For more information, go to ncta.com.
