Abstract
The Net@EDU Broadband Policy Working Group, on behalf of EDUCAUSE, provides a higher education vision for a national broadband network. This white paper recommends policy principals, goals and action items for federal policymakers with the hope of revitalizing the vision and expectation for an advanced telecommunications infrastructure for all Americans which also fully supports the needs of the academic community and its educational mission.
Presentation provided by Mike Roberts for the Net@EDU Broadband Policy Group's (BPG) Fall Forum. Roberts discussed the BPG's White Paper, "Broadband America: An Unrealized Vision", which provides a blueprint for the higher education community on promoting sound federal policies for affordable, ubiquitous broadband deployment while continuing to meet the public service needs.
