"The Second Wave of Electricity"

FCC's National Broadband Plan: In what some say is akin to "the second wave of electricity" in America, the FCC wants to expand and increase high-speed Internet access nationwide while encouraging competition among service providers. Set to be unveiled to Congress and the public today, the national broadband plan seeks to prioritize high-speed Internet as a "foundation for economic growth, job creation, global competitiveness and a better way of life."
