FCC to Unveil High-Speed Internet Plan
--------------------------------------



The Federal Communications Commission is preparing to unveil its
ambitious ten-year plan to establish high-speed internet as the
country’s dominant communication network. As part of the plan, the FCC
is recommending a subsidy for internet providers to wire rural parts of
the country now without access as well as the freeing up of some of the
TV broadcast spectrum for wireless devices.
