High Speed Internet Services
December 22, 2008 – 2:18 pmPresident-elect Barack Obama has called on the USA to increased the number of high speed internet services currently available. According to the future President, our nation has fallen behind the levels of other countries when it comes to high speed internet access. Look for the new administration to push the proliferation of high speed access as a key tenet of their term.
High speed internet service is particularly important to small business, especially those who make their living online. In order to remain competitive with overseas companies who may be offering cheaper prices, US companies need to have a technological edge. Faster internet backbones mean consumers, small business, and large corporations can count on a more reliable and faster internet for their transactions. Video growth has been pushing the levels of traffic on the web in the last few years and it’s likely that trend will continue. As more and more people get used to watching video online, higher speed internet access accounts will become that much more necessary.
Verizon, Comcast, and AT&T are now all offering much faster connection speeds than they did in the past. They’re taking aim at the growing market of people who use high speed internet to make their living.
Obama’s plan involves offering affordable and universal high speed internet access to citizens. Currently 40% of homes don’t have access to high speed internet, which is putting the USA behind many other developed countries.
A golden era of high speed internet services will soon be upon us if everyone, including rural customers and inner-city residents are able to gain access to the internet. The economic potential is large.
