President Obama wants to "get broadband to every community in America," and Congress is poised to include funding to upgrade and expand broadband Internet networks in the American Recovery and Reinvestment Plan. As trade groups and labor unions lobby for funds to expand telecommunications systems, questions remain about how specific incentives and oversight policies will spur development and create jobs while avoiding waste and fraud. Panelists at this event will discuss the proper role of stimulus funds to increase high-speed Internet access and the broader role of government in Internet policy.
