The "digital divide" is a term that has been used to characterise a
gap between "information haves and have-nots", or in other words,
between those Americans who use or have access to
telecommunications and information technologies and those who do
not. One important subset of the digital divide debate concerns
high-speed Internet access and advanced telecommunications
services, also known as broadband. Today, Americans turn to
broadband Internet access service for every facet of daily life,
from finding a job to finding a doctor, from connecting with family
to making new friends, from becoming educated to being entertained.
The availability of sufficient broadband capability can erase the
distance to high-quality health care and education, bring the world
into homes and schools, drive American economic growth, and improve
the nation's global competitiveness. New technologies and services
such as real-time distance learning, telemedicine, and higher
quality video services are being offered in the market today and
are pushing demand for higher broadband speeds. This book discusses
progress and issues of national broadband deployment and the
digital divide.
