Comments promote better broadband access

The Rural Broadband Policy Group has filed a series of comments with the Federal Communications Commission on changing federal policy to better serve rural America.

The policy group is composed of organizations working on media and communication in and for rural communities. It includes the Access Humboldt, Appalshop, California Center for Rural Policy, Center for Rural Strategies, Main Street Project, Media Literacy Project, Mountain Area Information Network, and Media Action Grassroots Network.

The comments were filed on broadband adoption, economic opportunity, and universal service.

The Rural Broadband Policy Group advocates for better broadband service for rural users. Its comments were based on a set of four principles the group developed in the past 18 months.
