Today we join in the launch of the Broadband for America coalition to highlight the many benefits of broadband access and the positive economic effects of continued progress toward universal broadband. The internet is revolutionizing so many aspects of commerce and providing opportunities for innovators, entrepreneurs, students, patients, workers, and consumers.

From Broadband for America’s press release:

Universal access to broadband will be critical to spurring economic growth, increasing opportunities for small businesses, and improving education at all levels, to name just three benefits. Hispanic families, and indeed all American families, stand to gain quite a bit from efforts to expand broadband access to all corners of our great country, and the Hispanic Leadership Fund is a proud member of this broad coalition
