BroadbandBreakfast.com Launches; Independent Source of News About Broadband Stimulus, Wireless and the National Broadband Plan
WASHINGTON, November 19, 2009 – Broadband Census News on Thursday launched BroadbandBreakfast.com, a new daily web site with definitive and independent news on broadband stimulus funding, wireless internet, and the national broadband plan.
BroadbandBreakfast.com is the new domain for the journalistic operations of Broadband Census News LLC, and covers broadband technology and internet policy. Its reporters are passionate about broadband.
The web site BroadbandCensus.com will continue for Broadband Census Data LLC.
The reporting conducted by the BroadbandBreakfast.com team deciphers the jargon and obfuscation frequently surrounding industry-led broadband discussions.
“With the FCC embarking on an expansive broadband quest, with its major inquiry into wireless competition, and with countless questions about the broadband stimulus program still unanswered, there’s never been a better time for authentic and independent news coverage of these subjects,” said Drew Clark, Editor of BroadbandBreakfast.com.
On hot button issues like network neutrality, BroadbandBreakfast.com doesn’t take sides. It exposes the arguments of the telecom titans, the internet giants, and public interest groups, critically questioning their claims.
While other news organizations have shuttered technology policy sites, BroadbandBreakfast.com ensures that an independent voice remains in this debate.
BroadbandBreakfast.com uses stringers from around the country. BroadbandBreakfast.com also seeks volunteer correspondents to provide coverage of local broadband policy.
Individuals may subscribe, for FREE, to BroadbandBreakfast.com’s daily e-mail alert. Premium Content is available exclusively by subscription.
Individuals seeking to advertise on BroadbandBreakfast.com, or to subscribe to Premium Content on BroadbandBreakfast.com, may contact sales@broadbandcensus.com.
