WASHINGTON, DC – Broadband for America (BfA) Ohio Chapter, which includes Scott Darling, Owner/Publisher of Farm and Dairy newspaper as one of its many members, today congratulated the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) for the hard work and dedication it has shown in developing the National Broadband Plan (NBP). 

The below statement was released by Mr. Darling: 

“Access to broadband Internet is paramount to overcoming the economic challenges confronting Ohio families.  With increased access to broadband, investment and job opportunities will grow and there will finally be a level playing field for our rural youth to have the same access to education tools urban kids have.  We fully support the efforts of the Federal Communications Commission regarding the National Broadband Plan. We all share the goal of making America, and Ohio, second to none in the digital, 21st Century economy. We all look forward to that reality." 

Broadband for America (BfA) is a growing coalition of over 200 members ranging from independent consumer advocacy groups, to content and application providers, to the companies which build and maintain the Internet.
