The trade group, which represents small Internet service providers, said the successful use of broadband technologies can address the realities of economic recovery, national security and the emerging need for new solutions in healthcare, energy management and education.

USIIA's detailed recommendations will be released soon but the three basic themes include:

1. Do no harm. Popular claims notwithstanding, there is nothing wrong with the nation's broadband infrastructure, and the Administration should not move in haste to fix a system that is demonstrably not broken.
