A Big Bang of cash is needed to bring rural Americans into the Information Age, according to a report released Monday by a Washington, D.C. think tank.
Nearly one-in-five rural Americans don t have broadband Internet access, but that could change with the use of carefully targeted subsidies through a process known as a reverse auction, noted the report by the Information Technology & Innovation Foundation. If we do a one-time, large infusion of funds focused on covering the capital expenditures to build new networks where they don t exist and make significant upgrades where they do, we can have a Big Bang in rural broadband that will go a long way toward solving this problem, ITIF Director of Broadband and Spectrum Policy Doug Brake, a coauthor of the report, told TechNewsWorld.
