The FCC wants to create wifi that can be used all over the US, even in the most rural areas. Even companies like Google, Microsoft are in favor of it as this could generate innovation and all kinds of other good stuff (oh, and Google getting more data about users but that’s besides the point 😛 ).
Of course Internet Service Providers aren’t too happy about that as this could cut into their profits. I think this is good for people who can’t afford broadband or don’t have any form of access to it. I hope this passes.
