A Call To Action From A Broad Broadband Coalition
In what its sponsors are describing as an "unprecedented display of consensus," a coalition of corporate, labor and public advocacy groups Tuesday will release a "call to action" intended to provide the incoming Obama administration with a framework for a national broadband strategy. The session, sponsored by the New America Foundation, includes two panels that feature top officials from AT&T, the Benton Foundation, Google, the Telecommunications Industry Association, and the Communications Workers of America, among other groups.
In the call to action, the groups state that broadband is becoming as important to the United States as railroads, electricity, telephones, and highways were in the last two centuries. It concludes with a commitment of the signatories to continue to work together to address key issues and priorities and to hold an event to present more specific recommendations to Obama, Congress and the American people. See the list of signatories here and read more about the event here.
