New USTelecom Website Highlights Benefits of Broadband

Today, I'm delighted to be able to introduce and show off USTelecom's new website (www.ustelecom.org)!  This week, we officially unveiled a new, multi-media website that highlights all the services and opportunities being made possible by the nation's broadband providers.  The site showcases how investment in the networks facilitates better education and health care, economic opportunities, a cleaner environment and more entertainment choices.

The new site includes an interactive video wall filled with key statistics about what broadband is doing for consumers, with facts like:  one million Americans rely on remote cardiac monitoring today; telecommuters will save 840 million gallons of gas this year; and broadband can reduce greenhouse gases by one billion tons in ten years.

The interactive, multi-media site also makes great use of  vidcasts and blogging to present our views.

I would encourage you to visit the site yourself or read more in our news release.  

Have a great weekend!
