CLINTON OUTLINES NATIONAL BROADBAND STRATEGY
[SOURCE: Associated Press, AUTHOR: Philip Elliott]
Sen Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-NY) on Wednesday called for a national broadband policy and called for a permanent implementation of the research and development credit. Called "Connect America," Clinton's broadband network would give businesses incentives to go into underserved areas, support state- and local-based initiatives and change the Federal Communication Commission rules to more accurately measure Internet access. Sen Clinton would also create a new public private partnership, modeled on the successful ConnectKentucky program which has dramatically improved broadband access. Sen Clinton said the Internet is the new necessity for economic development.
