On March 17, the Brookings Institution will host a policy forum to assess the National Broadband Plan. Does it achieve the objectives set forth by Congress? Does it advance the public interest? Does it provide affordable and accessible broadband? Brookings Vice President Darrell West will moderate a panel of experts evaluating the plan and exploring ways to move our national broadband policy forward.

After the program, the panelists will take audience questions.
