On July 21, the Hispanic Technology and Telecommunications Partnership (HTTP) submitted reply comments to the FCC on the creation of a National Broadband Plan. In our filing, we reiterated the importance of expanding broadband deployment and adoption to all Americans. We urged the FCC to focus on 100% broadband and efforts to promote broadband adoption before addressing other concerns that could take away from these objectives.

As we mentioned in our filing, the creation of a National Broadband Plan presents the FCC with an important opportunity to help alleviate the Digital Divide. There are great disparities in broadband adoption among low-income and non-English speaking Americans. This Plan marks a critical juncture to correct these disparities.

We are committed to working with the FCC as they develop a National Broadband Plan and we will be paying close attention to the Commission’s progress in the coming months. Please see our full comments here.
