“It  is imperative to showcase the applications made possible by the technology so  that a greater understanding can be achieved and that efforts can be dedicated  to making the technology available and accessible for all. These are the  stories of how 
advanced services enhance lives.”
“If  we are to create the connected communities envisioned here, then we must move  from a discussion of speed and providers to one of applications and benefits,  with an unwavering focus on the public interest. People don’t want to talk  about broadband; they want to get their hands on it and use it.”
