Course Project – Internet in the USA rural areas, and compared to other countries. Focus on the on the gap that is currently present for Americans without high speed internet. Currently there are up to 42 million Americans without reliable internet service, and during the COVID-19 pandemic, the internet became an essential service that some Americans are not even able to afford.
The FCC currently defines 25mbps as broadband internet connection, and there are currently controversies with how the FCC collects data on households with no internet. I would like to research how internet in America compares to the rest of the world, in terms of connectivity, price and availability. Please see attachment for some references.

- Contrast and compare the benefits and risk to society if there is federal regulation in this technology area as compared to past successful or unsuccessful federal regulation of telecommunications technologies. To what extent should there be federal regulation and what elements would your policy recommendation include to the FCC? Include current information on how the FCC regulates VoIP. If you believe that VoIP should not be regulated at all, provide your rationale; otherwise, include your suggestions for how the FCC should regulate VoIP and the rationale. Please examine and discuss each element of this Objective.
