Broadband infrastucture is clearly on the agenda for the new administration and funding is being appropriated as I type. Here are some things we should consider in building out a new communications infrastructure that will empower our citizens:
Keep public interest as the driving force for a new communications system
Build out fiber
Build out wifi/wimax networks
Turn our public libraries into “Digital Learning Centers” and Hotspots
Provide free training for Seniors and the less fortunate
Invite more public access
