The Federal Communications Commission is rolling out a proposal this week to provide fast Internet access to the estimated 100 million homes in the U.S. currently without it. The national broadband plan is not policy yet — proponents and critics have to weigh in before the FCC delivers the final version. We discuss the promise and possible perils of a national broadband plan.

Guests:

Jed Kolko, economist, associate director and research fellow at the Public Policy Institute of California

Rachelle Chong, former FCC commissioner and special counsel for advanced communications and information technology at the Office of the Chief Information Officer for the State of California
