FCC Eyes Broadband For Indian Reservations : NPR

FCC Eyes Broadband For Indian Reservations : NPR: Only 63 percent of all Americans have high-speed Internet connections. That's low compared with other countries.

But when it comes to American Indians, the Federal Communications Commission estimates that fewer than 10 percent are connected. On Tuesday, the FCC announced the appointment of a special liaison to the American Indian community to oversee efforts to get broadband to reservations.
