[SOURCE: House Committee on Oversight & Government Reform 5/22, AUTHOR: Chairman Waxman and Ranking Member Davis]
The House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform has sent a letter to the Government Accountability Office asking it to conduct a survey of all actions undertaken by the federal government to encourage broadband deployment. Specifically they ask the study to address: 1) Actions taken by the federal government to encourage broadband deployment, 2) A comparison of US broadband deployment to that in other countries, 3) The extent the government is using existing authority to encourage broadband, 4) The unique characteristics of the US that affect broadband deployment and 5) Coordination of various governmental efforts to encourage broadband deployment.
