Keynote Remarks by Education Director of FCC's National Broadband Task Force. Setting the Table for the National Broadband Plan: Education and Distance Learning

Setting the Table for the National Broadband Plan:
Education and Distance Learning

Broadband has long offered the prospect that rural residents will be able to take advantage of something generally available only in urban or suburban areas: the best that higher education has to offer. Is broadband living up to this educational promise? Also, what role can primary, secondary and specialized education play in helping turbo-charge the FCC's National Broadband Plan?

NEW! Introductory Remarks by Kristin Kane, Director, National Purposes, FCC Broadband Plan
