United States would need about 350,000 million dollars in grants and investments to expand the use of broadband in their territory, said Tuesday the industry regulator.
The Federal Communications Commission, U.S. (FCC for its acronym in English) is carrying out a national plan to increase the use of broad banking in urban and rural areas. The project would be sent to Congress in mid-February.
In a report, the working group of the FCC said that preliminary estimates show that investment would be needed in the range of between 20,000 and 350,000 million, depending on the speed of service.
The committee said that most Americans have Internet service at home, a third have broadband access but has not been signed and that 4 percent have no access.
However, broadband subscribers are receiving lower rates to those predicted, said the panel, which estimated that current rates are lower by 50 or 80 percent to the contract.
