NTIA has been at the forefront of the Administration's efforts to facilitate the development of broadband networks and services. In March 2004, President Bush established a national goal for "universal, affordable access for broadband technology by the year 2007." The agency has supported policies that would make it easier for new competitors to enter the market and offer advanced broadband services. NTIA has also recommended regulatory changes that would enable incumbent local telephone companies to provide such services on a less-regulated basis, subject to safeguards to protect competition. Finally, NTIA continues to explore how to ensure affordable access by all Americans to broadband services.
