FCC Broadband Benchmarks Holding Back Small Business

As the US recovers from one of the worst economic crises in our history, we will be looking to small businesses to revitalize our local communities and hire displaced workers. But these enterprises will need high-performance broadband to innovate and adapt to our new, post-COVID reality. Unfortunately, the Federal Communications Commission's standards are not running apace. The FCC has not updated its speed benchmark for 6 years. 2015's definition of 'high-speed' is antiquated—and it is holding us back. It is well past time for the FCC to set new benchmark speeds that reflect what true broadband is in 2021—and allow us to build back better.
