NHMC Promotes Affordable Broadband for Latinos

The National Hispanic Media Coalition will promote universal and affordable broadband, telecom networks and inclusive media for the Latino community as part of its 2015 policy priorities, NHMC said in an email Tuesday. NHMC will expand public and private broadband adoption programs for Latinos who lack broadband connections and promote telecom policies that treat Latino consumers fairly, it said. The coalition will continue to urge the FCC to reclassify Internet access as a common-carrier service under Communications Act Title II, it said. It will also focus on privacy protections for Latinos in the digital age, it said.
