In the "U.S. lags behind in broadband infrastructure" article, writers John Irons and Ian Townson discuss the need for the U.S. to catch up in broadband efficiency.
An interesting part of this article is the paragraph that says expanding broadband can benefit the U.S. in ways outside of the Internet:
Expanding broadband infrastructure in the United States would not simply improve the speed of connections for entertainment purposes, but it will also bring a wealth of knowledge to more citizens in more areas. With greater reach, the United States could see improvements in education, health care, and first-responder capabilities as communications become faster, more efficient, and more effective.
This idea that the Internet can bring more piece to the U.S. is interesting. Online education and learning tools can download faster and use bigger — more interactive — files if there is a larger broadband connection. Emergency responders can transmit calls via the Internet and arrive at accident sites quicker.
The possibilities are endless with bigger, badder broadband. Would having more space to play give journalists more room for investigation?
