Because every American
should have access
to broadband Internet.

The Internet Innovation Alliance is a broad-based coalition of business and non-profit organizations that aim to ensure every American, regardless of race, income or geography, has access to the critical tool that is broadband Internet. The IIA seeks to promote public policies that support equal opportunity for universal broadband availability and adoption so that everyone, everywhere can seize the benefits of the Internet - from education to health care, employment to community building, civic engagement and beyond.

On Spectrum & Policy

By Brad

Bret Swanson of Entropy Economics (he’s also one of our Broadband Ambassadors) has released a new paper on mobile expansion and spectrum policies. From the paper:

Unleashing spectrum through auctions and allowing greater flexibility to use, buy, and sell existing private spectrum is important to accomodate existing demand for new data services and to drive future wireless innovation. Spectrum policy and politics, however, has been deteriorating.

You can read Swanson’s full paper, “Can Spectrum Policy Match Speed of Mobile Expansion?” at the Entropy Economics website (PDF).
