FCC Wants More Time To Craft Broadband Plan 140
adeelarshad82 writes "Julius Genachowski, Federal Communications Commission Chairman, has sent out a letter to Congress requesting more time for the commission to deliver its national broadband plan. According to the stimulus bill passed in early 2009, the FCC was to come up with a plan to provide all citizens with access to broadband services and deliver it to the committee by February 17, 2010. Even though an outline of the plan was released last month, FCC is requesting till March 17, 2010 to finalize the plan."

The FCC is still using a 56k modem and it will take them a month to upload the plan.

"With large ISP's fighting local democracy I can understand why public pressure for better broadband infrastructure arises."
You meant fighting local socialism.
