It looks like President Obama is on tour to promote his vision of "investing for the future". According to the recent article in the NYTimes here, President said the followings:
- “This isn’t just about a faster Internet or being able to find a friend on Facebook. It’s about connecting every corner of America to the digital age,” the president said. “It’s about a rural community in Iowa or Alabama where farmers can monitor weather across the state and markets across the globe. It’s about an entrepreneur on Main Street with a great idea she hopes to sell to the big city. It’s about every young person who no longer has to leave his hometown to seek new opportunity — because opportunity is right there at his or her fingertips.”
Some of the immediate action items are:
- high-tech wireless public safety system (nationwide wireless broadband network) that would tie cities and towns together in the event of a national emergency like the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.
