Cable Making Broadband Service Available Regardless of Race, Income: NCTA
Pointing toward looming 10G cable broadband deployment, NCTA blogged Tuesday that FCC data shows cable ISPs have a history "of deploying their fastest services ubiquitously to communities they serve regardless of income level or race." It said the new FCC broadband map shows that as of June, cable providers are offering gigabit-level service to 96% of locations they serve. It said there's "virtually no difference" in gigabit-level availability based on the racial composition or household income of a given area.
