FCC ASSESSING HIGH-SPEED INTERNET ACCESS
[SOURCE: Associated Press]
The Federal Communications Commission wants to determine whether high-speed
Internet access is being made available fast enough to all Americans, calling
it "critical" to the nation's economy. The Commission said Monday it has begun
to assess the availability of broadband, or high-speed, service, especially in
rural and other underserved areas. The agency will also focus its inquiry on
the cost of service and analyze competition among broadband providers. The FCC
is seeking comments on how to speed up the rollout of high-speed Internet
access, as well as opinions on investment trends in the industry. Additionally,
the FCC is seeking comment on how to improve the data collected on wireless
broadband services and data about subscribers who make telephone calls over the
Internet. The agency said improving this data will help set broadband policy in
the future.
