Directions
Providing access to the Internet for all Americans was one of the goals of the National Broadband Plan. Staff of the Federal Communications Commission will present an overview on May 6 of a technical paper supporting estimates in the Plan of a $24 billion gap between the cost of deploying broadband services to the 14 million or more Americans living in unserved areas and the potential additional revenue generated from the broadband investment. Staff will explain the economic model that generated this estimate and answer questions about the paper, which is titled "The Broadband Availability Gap". The public is encouraged to attend.
The presentation is part of the FCC Omnibus Broadband Initiative’s Working Reports Series and Technical Paper Series, which will present analysis and research by FCC staff members performed in the process of developing the National Broadband Plan.
Reasonable accommodations for people with disabilities are available upon request. Include a description of the accommodation you will need with as much detail as possible. Also include a way we can contact you if we need more information. Please provide as much advance notice as possible; last minute requests will be accepted, but may be impossible to fill. Send an e-mail to fcc504@fcc.gov or call the Consumer & Governmental Affairs Bureau at 202-418-0530 (voice), 202-418-0432 (TTY).
