WASHINGTON, D.C.—As part of a wide inquiry into the state of broadband services in the U.S., FCC chair Jessica Rosenworcel has announced that she is proposing a goal of achieving 100% nationwide access to affordable broadband and that the standard for broadband speeds be increased.
The goal is part of an updated Notice of Inquiry that would kick off the agency’s evaluation of the state of broadband across the country, as required by Section 706 of the Telecommunications Act.
