Report shows history of industry efforts to suppress broadband data collection
By Cecilia Kang
Washington Post

Days before the Federal Communications Commission presents proposals to bring broadband Internet connections to all 
U.S. homes, a report shows that major Internet service providers have worked to keep meaningful data on the subject 
suppressed.

In “Industry Lobby Keeps Public in the Dark About Broadband,” John Dunbar, director of American University’s 
Investigative Reporting Workshop, details a history of industry efforts to prevent regulators from getting information 
to map what homes are getting service, the prices they pay and the speeds that they are offered.
