Location: The Heritage Foundation's Lehrman Auditorium
Last month, President Bush announced a "national goal" for
broadband communications, stating "we ought to have …
universal, affordable access for broadband technology by the year
2007." But what does this mean? What does broadband mean to the
average American and to the economy? What kind of policies should
be followed to help meet such a goal? Is the answer industrial
policy or simply getting government out of the way? We hope you can
join us on May 13 for what should be an interesting and informative
discussion of this and other questions regarding the President's
broadband pledge.
