Because every American
should have access
to broadband Internet.

The Internet Innovation Alliance is a broad-based coalition of business and non-profit organizations that aim to ensure every American, regardless of race, income or geography, has access to the critical tool that is broadband Internet. The IIA seeks to promote public policies that support equal opportunity for universal broadband availability and adoption so that everyone, everywhere can seize the benefits of the Internet - from education to health care, employment to community building, civic engagement and beyond.

Spectrum Deal of the Day

By Brad

Courtesy of Jeff Baumgartner of Light Reading:

Dish Network Corp. has agreed to pay US$700 million to Cablevision Systems Corp. and its AMC Networks unit to settle a legal spat over the defunct Voom HD service, but there’s a big wireless broadband angle in there, too. About $80 million of that money will go toward Dish’s purchase of Cablevision’s 500MHz of Multichannel Video and Data Distribution (MVDDS) licenses covering 150 million people in 45 metro U.S. areas, including New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, San Francisco and Philadelphia.
