US Ignite Broadband Initiative to be Examined in Live Webcast
As a part of its recent push to encourage high-speed broadband deployment nationwide, the White House recently announced the creation of the public-private “U.S. Ignite” initiative aimed at providing next-generation broadband networks to support education, manufacturing, health, transportation, public safety, and clean energy systems. Consisting of nearly 100 corporations, municipalities, and non-profit organizations, the initiative hopes to interconnect communities with advanced fiber networks in order to facilitate sharing of knowledge, skill, and applications in critical public service areas.
