Free Press: FCC used 'flawed data' in broadband plan
The Hill
By Kim Hart

Despite years of Congressional pleas for better broadband data, the FCC's National Broadband Plan is based on flawed 
information and incorrect assumptions, public interest group Free Press told lawmakers Wednesday.

Derek Turner, research director for Free Press, said the FCC has overstated the availability of broadband availability 
around the country, using figures that are not sufficient for long-term policymaking. In his testimony before the House 
technology subcommittee, Turner said he doubts the FCC's claim that 95 percent of U.S. households have access to 
broadband facilities capable of delivering adequate speeds.
