Rural Broadband Principles and Policy Recommendations

Rural America needs broadband. The Rural Internet and Broadband Policy Group has two goals: to articulate national broadband policies that provide opportunities for rural communities to participate fully in the nation's democracy, economy, culture, and society; and to spark national collaboration among rural broadband advocates. The group offers there principles: 1) Communication as a fundamental human right. 2) There is no one-size-fits-all solution for all rural communities. 3) Local ownership, self reliance, and investment in place. 4) Network Neutrality.
