Federal regulators have disclosed their plan to get high-speed Internet service to millions of Americans, while increasing delivery speeds and reducing prices for 200 million current subscribers.

The Federal Communications Commission's National Broadband Plan also intends to leverage broadband to transform virtually every facet of U. S. society and industry, including health care, education and energy. The FCC will present the outline of the plan to Congress today.

FCC Chairman, Julius Genachowski, says, “It’s a 21st century roadmap to spur economic growth and investment, create jobs, educate our children, protect our citizens and engage in our democracy".

The plan aspires to connect 100 million households to reasonable, 100 megabits-per-second service in the next 10 years. Such high speed will allow high-definition videoconferencing and medical diagnostics.

Furthermore, it aims to amplify subscription from 65% to 90% through training in communities and other measures.

It also wishes to provide broadband services to inhabitants in rural areas and low-income households. The FCC plans to move $15.5 billion from the Universal Service Fund, which supports phone services for meager and rural consumers, to broadband.

The FCC, the White House or Congress will execute the plan, parts of which can call for a controversy.

National Association of Broadcasters Spokesman, Dennis Wharton vexes that efforts to gain spectrum is likely to inflict "onerous" new fees on broadcasters.
