At CES last week, we conducted an informal survey asking attendees how the government should ensure universal broadband availability and adoption. The results offered an interesting snapshot of how tech-savvy crowd viewed the issue.
Of the 259 people who took the survey, 31% picked “Minimize regulation, taxation and government oversight of innovators, entrepreneurs, and private companies” as most important. 19% picked “Reduce taxes on telecom services that are naked into consumers’ broadband bills.” And “Reform Universal Service rules to start subsidizing broadband and stop subsidizing plain old telephone service” was chosen by 15%.
Rounding out the survey, 8% of survey takers felt it was most important that the government should pass net neutrality regulations, while just 6% supported digital literacy for the poor and communities of color.
