Report on Broadband Policy

From the inbox:

It is well documented that the United States lacks a clear national broadband policy, but on the state level there have been significant efforts to increase the United States' access to high speed Internet.

The Communications Workers of America and the Alliance for Public Technology have the first comprehensive, searchable database of state government initiatives for advancing broadband deployment.

During the 2008 presidential election, the public and mass media are talking about the need for high speed broadband networks more than ever before. Regardless of who is elected, states across the nations and the federal government will have to focus on improving the state of the nation's broadband.

This report aims to provide policymakers who want to encourage investment in and adoption of high speed broadband networks with a checklist of possible solutions.
