HEARING TODAY ON BROADBAND MAPPING BILL
[SOURCE: Broadcasting&Cable, AUTHOR: John Eggerton]
The House Telecom & Internet Subcommittee will hold a hearing on a draft bill
that would establish in law that "high-speed" Internet access means
"transmission at speeds allowing the user to download not less than 2 megabits
per second and upload not less than 1 megabit per second." Moreover, the
legislation would require the National Telecommunications & Information
Administration and the Federal Communications Commission to collect more, and
more precise, data on the rollout of broadband service in the US. The FCC would
collect the data, and NTIA would be charged with coming up with a map showing
exactly where, and what kind of, broadband service was available.
