The Information Technology and Innovation Foundation (ITIF) released a new study today on broadband policy at the National Press Club in Washington. The report, titled “Explaining International Broadband Leadership”, looks at policies in nine nations and finds that, while we shouldn’t look to other nations for silver bullets or assume that practices in one nation will automatically work in another, U.S. policymakers should look to broadband best practices in other nations. Learning the right lessons and emulating the right policies will enable the United States to improve our broadband performance.
The broadband leadership study, which I co-authored with ITIF’s Daniel K. Correa and Julie A. Hedlund, put forth a number of key lessons for American policymakers:

Does anyone have experience of mobile broadband coverage in Cornwall? I travel down their regularly and am thinking about signing up with a mobile broadband provider but have heard coverage can be poor in some rural areas. I’ve been looking at various different mobile broadband providers here: http://www.broadband-expert.co.uk/broadband/mobile and am leaning towards Vodafone.
Any advice would be great. I don’t want to sign up and find I’m paying for a product that doesn’t work!
