Rural Louisiana communities could get more high-speed internet access

BATON ROUGE A task force has recommended that the state auction part of a high-speed internet spectrum to service providers and businesses instead of using it only for public safety.  The high-speed spectrum could provide faster internet access to rural communities in Louisiana and expand the technological infrastructure in those areas. It also could ease the digital divide between residents who have access to broadband and those who do not. The Federal Communications Commission allocated 50 megahertz of the high-speed internet spectrum, the 4.9 GHz spectrum, to Louisiana.  The FCC initially allowed the 4.9 GHz spectrum to be used for public-safety purposes, but only about 3.5% of the available licensees have been used. So last September, the commission expanded the possible uses of the band. 

Legislature will consider public usage of internet spectrum
