President Obama: Broadband Access Investment Will Not Be Cut

In a speech on his plan to cut the deficit by $4 trillion over the next 12 years, President Barack Obama said that he was willing to make tough cuts to programs he supports, but one of them won't be getting broadband to the nation. "I will not sacrifice the core investments we need to grow and create jobs," he said, including broadband access among the programs he said the country will continue to invest in.
