Purple congratulates the FCC for its release of the National Broadband Plan which seeks to make Broadband more affordable and accessible.
Some of you may remember my comments about H.R. 3101 (the Coat Bill), and Purple’s continuing support of the bill. As Jamie Berke in her blog noted, the FCC “expressed de facto support for HR 3101″ which is a very good thing, indeed.
FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski noted that only 42% of people with disabilities have adopted Broadband compared with 65% of the general population. This gaps clearly needs to be closed.
NAD Law and Advocacy Center Director, Rosaline Crawford, stated
To the extent that the FCC has acknowledged, publicly, the need for a lot of what is in [H.R. 3101], I think it is incumbent upon us to ensure that the bill passes and to ensure that the FCC has the authority it needs to ensure access to the Internet and broadband for everyone. We are thrilled with this kind of support and acknowledgment of this need.
Other disability groups have lauded the FCC for the Plan’s inclusion of people with disabilities.
Thank for sharing and u know many people all over the world have a low disability and they cant effort it and they want the beeeest the purple communication and it doest matter that of 42% or 65% that need to get new ruling we not stupid deaf and need response from jerry nelson and purple and thank you very much!!!!!
Your YouTube video shown on my iPhone is in pretty low quality. Can you record future videos at the highest quality or mobile-clear quality video? Like many, my work doesn’t permit access to YouTube videos.
It is with broadband that I came to realize that there is no need for me to worry myself with mobile phone internet as with a wireless modem I can easily access some of my best sites through the laptop.
I must say that your entire blog website is very informative. I’ve been expending a large amount of energy over the last couple weeks seeking at whatever is in existence subject to the fact that I am planning to launch a blog page. The knowledge you have placed on here is essentially to the point. It just is perceived as so difficult regarding all the technological innovations that are available on the market, but I enjoy the way your appears to be. Gotta find it irresistible where technology has come over the past twelve yrs.
