Broadband for America has released a new video featuring David Ellis of the Corporate Director of Planning and Future Studies at the Detroit Medical Center and the Editor and Publisher of Health Futures Digest with Emery King. King is former Anchor and Chief Political Correspondent with WDIV-TV in Detroit, Michigan and as former White House Correspondent for NBC News. He currently serves as Communications Director at the Detroit Medial Center and Host of the “Emery King Medical Video Library”. Mr. Ellis and Mr. King discuss the importance of broadband adoption and how access to high-speed Internet is rapidly becoming a mainstay of our everyday lives. From the video:

David Ellis: “Broadband is important because we increasingly do our work on the highway and we don’t want to be held up in slow traffic or stuck in a traffic jam. … When we apply for that job, we want it to happen now.”

“I would agree with former FCC Chairman Michael Powell who said that having access to broadband Internet is synonymous with growing our economy. I couldn’t agree more. … How much do we need? As much as we can get.”
