Abstract: The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 authorizes the Federal Communications Commission to create the National Broadband Plan that shall seek to ensure that all people of the United States have access to broadband capability and shall establish benchmarks for meeting that goal. Consistent with this effort, and pursuant to the requirements of the Broadband Data Improvement Act of 2008, the Commission's Office of Strategic Planning seeks emergency OMB approval to conduct surveys of business consumers of broadband Internet to determine the state of broadband Internet access, use, service speed and price in order to make recommendations as part of the National Broadband Plan which is due to Congress by February 17, 2010.
