On December 2, the ALA's Washington Office joined forces with a wide-ranging
coalition of organizations in releasing a Call to Action to President-elect
Barack Obama and the next Congress, urging them to establish a comprehensive
national broadband strategy.

The group, a mix of communications providers, high technology companies,
manufacturers, consumers, labor unions, public interest groups, educators,
state and local governments, utilities, content creators, foundations and
many other groups, stressed the importance of a national broadband strategy
to economic vitality, educational opportunity, public safety, energy
efficiency, environmental stability and global competitiveness. The Call to
Action set forth goals and outlined policies that would stimulate high-speed
broadband investment, adoption and use nationwide.

Additional information about the national broadband Call to Action can be
