Subject: AT&T Believes 10Mbps Upload Ought to Be Enough for
Everybody
By Joel Hruska
As planning for the post-pandemic recovery gets underway, eyes are
focused on the FCC and America's future broadband policies. There are
tens of millions of Americans across the United States with either no
access or very limited access to affordable broadband internet. This
was a known problem even before the pandemic, but COVID-19 lockdowns
exacerbated these issues dramatically. Home broadband use has
skyrocketed over the past 12 months. There are proposals before
Congress to build an $80 billion nationwide fiber network to serve
rural areas that currently lack affordable wireline service. The
network would offer 100/100Mbps service with symmetric upload/download
bandwidth.
