Gov. Schwarzenegger Issues Statement on California Broadband Task Force’s Final Report
Gov. Schwarzenegger today issued the following statement after the California Broadband Task Force released its final report:
“I applaud the California Broadband Task Force for its tremendous work in producing some of the nation’s most comprehensive maps on this issue and making our state the first in the nation to map the speed of broadband. We should be proud that California is leading among all states in deployment, with broadband available to 96 percent of the state. Expanding broadband access keeps California competitive in a global market and stimulates our economy through job growth. Innovative efforts such as the California Emerging Technology Fund, the new California Advanced Services Fund and the California Telehealth Network, will promote continued investment in California’s broadband future.”
