They just released a startling report indicating the American economy could be losing out on 134 Billion dollars annually by a mild uptake in broadband adoption. In fact the report states:

“Connected Nation provides convincing evidence that the benefits of broadband adoption
spill over to society as a whole,” said Dr. Robert D. Atkinson, president of the Information
Technology & Innovation Foundation. “Moreover, the report rightly concludes that public
policies to spur broadband are critical to ensure the best possible broadband future for the
United States.”

This in-depth analysis and study of programs from around the country reiterate the importance of providing and fostering broadband internet growth beyond the telcos and cable companies to all of Rural and unreached America.
