Deployment proposals for the National Broadband Plan

The Federal Communications Commission has received 12 proposals on broadband deployment for the National Broadband Plan from the public via IdeaScale.

The most popular proposals are to 1) exclude low speed services (like satellite broadband) from the plan and 2) to ensure Network Neutrality.

Additional ideas include requiring broadband be available in all public housing, using "dark fiber," making broadband deployment and adoption an Obama Administration Cabinet-level priority, modernizing the Universal Service Fund, and initiating and expanding programs to extend broadband to persons with disabilities, seniors, minorities, Native Americans, and other populations that are too often on the wrong side of the digital divide.
