The Federal Communications Commission's Federal-State Joint Conference on Advanced Services, with the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA), held a Summit on February 7, 2013 to identify and discuss best practices learned from broadband adoption programs and academic studies/surveys, and how implementation of these best practices can close the broadband adoption gap among Americans – particularly low-income households, racial and ethnic minorities, seniors, rural residents, residents of Tribal lands and people with disabilities.
Vice President and Media and Technology Institute Director Dr. John Horrigan participated in the first of four panels at this event, entitled What Have We Learned from Academic Studies on How to Close the Broadband Adoption Gap. Dr. Horrigan discussed the four major lessons learned since the release of the National Broadband Plan.
