Services that require a lot of bandwidth are called broadband services. Networks with a lot of bandwidth available are called broadband networks. The legislation promotes consumer choice- both of technology and providers. Not only does the legislation accelerate deployment of broadband technology and services, it offers consumers the promise of additional choices. Competing technologies and many more Internet Service Providers will be vying for the customer's business.
Competition means better products at lower prices.
The legislation will accelerate deployment of high-speed Internet connections. The current regulatory bottleneck created by over-regulation is stifling the growth and vast potential of the Internet. The bills provide the catalyst for local telecommunications companies to accelerate the deployment of broadband networks and services to consumers. In the spirit of the Internet, once networks are deployed, innovative companies will develop and offer new services on a more universal basis. The legislation will significantly improve the economies of deploying high-speed services in rural communities.
