The Federal Communications Commission aims at introducing high-speed Internet across the nation, which will take the nation's media and technology to another level.

However, it seems that this plan is likely to give rise to a debate in Washington and an ensuing quarrel among the telecommunication biggies, which are in fear of facing new competition for consumers.

The proposal reveals that Government's realizes that broadband Internet is becoming the fastest medium of the United States, slowly replacing the telephone and broadcast television industries.

F. C. C. Chairman and the plan's Chief Salesman, Julius Genachowski, remarked that U. S is far behind other countries in broadband subscription and speed. Nearly one-third of Americans have no access to high-speed Internet service, cannot afford it or choose not to have it.

Colin Crowell, a Senior Counselor to Mr. Genachowski, said that the plan aims at reducing the phone subsidies so that the fund could instead "support broadband access and affordability", particularly in remote areas where private companies are not keen to construct networks.

The television industry is already opposing the Government proposal to return spectrum that it wants to use for future mobile service. On Friday, Mr. Genachowski, said, "Broadband will be the indispensable platform to assure American competitiveness, ongoing job creation and innovation, and will affect nearly every aspect of Americans' lives at home, at work, and in their communities". Julien Blin, a Telecommunications Consultant at JBB Research, said, "Once again, the F. C. C. is putting service providers on the spot".
