Public Television's Role in the National Broadband Plan

Just as public television licensees have long served as local and regional hubs for the delivery of educational broadcast content, numerous licensees are seamlessly transitioning into roles as the anchors of high-speed broadband networks that conduct advanced educational content and services to and between local schools, universities, and libraries. APTS urges the Federal Communications Commission to recognize the essential role that public television stations are playing in the area of broadband deployment as well as in the development of innovative content to drive broadband adoption and advance national priorities.
