President Obama is set to speak about America's broadband internet access issues today, and you can watch his conference live online.
The White House website will stream the speech live at 3:40 p.m. Eastern, giving Americans a window into his plan for increasing access around the country. Smaller towns and less populated regions deserve access to high speed internet, and the country can do better as a hole.
The site posted a brief blog entry yesterday that helps explain the issue, and the president's planned steps for fixing it. The post points to several examples of small towns that have helped themselves by welcoming competition and introducing new-generation networks, and the White House supports these movements. Hear what President Obama has to say in the video below when the stream goes live shortly.
