Business of Tech | The FCC wants to hear from you

I talk about Broadband all the time.   The FCC… is now wondering what you think too.

They’ve launched a form you can fill in to help the FCC understand problems.  The form they have posted is supposedly a first step to a more detailed and specific reporting tool.    This Broadband Data Task force wants to hear from you.  

Why do we care?
As much as I’ve talked about the new regulatory push on Broadband, here’s your chance to speak up for your community.   Have areas poorly served?    Have struggles with getting customers connected?    You know the spots.

It’s hard to complain later when you ignore the opportunity now.  I would expect this audience of IT service companies to have some of the best insights into communities where broadband is a problem.  Go forth and comment!
