* FCC Commissioner Copps Call for National Broadband Strategy
"Every year brings more bad news as the United States slides farther down the
broadband rankings. It's a national embarrassment and the only way to change
it is to develop a broadband strategy like every other industrialized nation
has already done. These rankings aren't a beauty contest -- they're about our
competitiveness as a country and creating economic opportunity for all our
people. Bringing high-speed broadband to every corner of the country is the
central infrastructure challenge we face. Always in the past, our nation found
ways to stay ahead of everyone else in building infrastructure like turnpikes,
railroads and highways. Now, in broadband, we're not even an also-ran."
