Kerry on universal broadband and internet

[karynnj]

I never heard of this blog and don't know what it has done, but this is a nice outreach for input on what the broadband future should be.

"Mike said yesterday:

This Commission has never, I believe, received a more serious charge than the one to spearhead development of a national broadband plan. Congress has made it crystal clear that it expects the best thinking and recommendations we can put together by next February. If we do our job well, this will be the most formative—indeed transformative—proceeding ever in the Commission’s history.

So when Julius joins Mike on the FCC, we’ll have some great commissioners to work with. And they need to hear from you.

They need your input on how to build an infrastructure that doesn’t just extend our current broadband, but creates the 21st century telecommunications infrastructure that we desperately need — true broadband speeds of up to 100 mbps. We need to make sure that we lock in the principle of a free and open Internet. And we need a spectrum policy that unlocks innovation and uses our airwaves in the ways that bring our country the most benefit.

Years ago, telecommunications policy was too often dominated by special interests and industry lobbyists. But through the work of so many of you, we now have a lively, democratic, and vital debate going on about the next steps in our broadband policy in this country.
