Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger commissioned the California Broadband Task Force (CBTF) to “remove barriers to broadband access, identify opportunities for increased broadband adoption, and enable the creation and deployment of new advanced communication technologies.” The governor also requested that the CBTF “pay particular attention to how broadband can be used to substantially benefit educational institutions, healthcare institutions, community-based organizations, and governmental institutions.”
The Task Force’s final report, “The State of Connectivity – Building Innovation Through Broadband.” This report represents the culmination of more than a year of work by the Task Force, and includes maps of current broadband availability and speed, recommendations to increase broadband access and use, and a timeframe in which to meet these critical goals. The report is available online at www.calink.ca.gov/taskforcereport.
