Building Nationwide Broadband The Federal Communications Commission is proposing a nationwide broadband plan, a sweeping initiative to provide-among other things-100 megabit per second Internet access to 100 million people by 2020. The FCC also proposes to deliver 1 gigabit per second access to places such as schools, libraries, and government buildings.
"The national broadband plan is a 21st-century roadmap to spur economic growth and investment, create jobs, educate our children, protect our citizens, and engage in our democracy," said FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski.
