Most people think that the United States-the country that invented the Internet-is a global leader in high speed internet. We’re not. We are #16 and falling behind countries that range from Sweden to South Korea. We are falling behind because our country doesn’t have a policy that will lead to investment in the technology to bring the benefits of this telecommunications revolution to every citizen.
That’s why CWA is launching “Speed Matters” -one of the most important public issue campaigns in our history. This effort has the potential to boost the economy, bring high speed Internet to rural and urban America and create thousands of quality union jobs.
