"[W]hen I took office in 2001 was the awesome power of information infrastructure to propel America’s progress in the Twenty-first century and to enhance our civic dialogue. As broadband took root, those with eyes to see quickly came to see that there was no problem confronting our nation -- lack of jobs, inadequate health care, growing energy dependence, deteriorating environment, lack of equal opportunity -- that did not have a broadband component as part of its solution.”
-- Former FCC Commissioner Michael Copps
