[Libs-Or] Broadband Opportunity Council Report from the White House

[Darci Hanning]

Greetings!

For those of you tracking various broadband improvement opportunities from Federal agencies, you might find the following interesting:

This week, the White House released the Broadband Opportunity Council Report from the Broadband Opportunity Council, a group established by President Obama.  The report describes concrete steps that 25 federal agencies will take over the next 18 months to eliminate barriers and promote broadband investment and adoption.  These actions make an additional $10 billion federal funding available for broadband projects.

Full Report:

You can read more about in the White House Blog.
