On the first anniversary of the Federal Communication Commission’s highly anticipated National Broadband Plan, 33 percent of Americans still do not have broadband access. While broadband is an indispensable component of President Obama’s innovation agenda, individuals who have not adopted broadband will be left out.  In his State of the Union speech, President Obama set his expectations on providing 98 percent of Americans with wireless services. The National Broadband Plan is the U.S. government’s first genuine articulation of broadband deployment best practices that are most likely to spur economic development and democratic participation.  One year later, the Joint Center's Media and Technology Institute asked whether these goals are being accomplished, assessing the plan’s successes and failures. MTI and a panel of experts, including Broadband Plan architect Blair Levin, discussed what the National Broadband Plan means to under-served and under-connected communities.
