Description

While broadband (high-speed Internet) is available to a majority of Americans, barriers have kept some from subscribing and enjoying its benefits. In 2010, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) published the National Broadband Plan, which noted that some demographic groups lagged behind others in adopting broadband and called on FCC and the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) to take action to address these barriers. This report examines (1) benefits of home broadband adoption; (2) barriers to adoption and approaches to address them; and (3) the extent to which FCC and NTIA have assessed efforts and set goals to address barriers. Tables and figures. This is a print on demand report.
