National Broadband Plan may create slower Internet speeds in rural areas

The FCC has crafted a plan to make broadband Internet access universally available. However, this very plan will also make rural Americans second class citizens in the new broadband world, because it establishes speed goals for rural areas that are 25 times slower than for urban areas. We urge you to watch the following video for details, and then to contact our congressional representatives and urge them to support regulatory action that ensures equal access to broadband for all Americans.
