The Communications Workers of America (CWA) said today that it is critical for U.S. policy makers to combine the important goals of Internet openness with the need to encourage investment in building a 21st century broadband system.
The average download Internet speed in the United States between 2007 and 2009 increased by only 1.6 megabits per second (mbps), from 3.5 mbps in 2007 to 5.1 mbps in 2009, according to a new report by the Communications Workers of America (CWA).
Internet connection speeds in the U.S. have only become slightly faster in the past year gaining just four-tenths of one megabit per second according to a new report from the Communication Workers of America (CWA).
