Anastasia trailer What does the economic stimulus have to do with online safety and privacy? Well, a great deal if you ask me. Buried in the many facets of the economic stimulus package passed by Congress this year is one component of utmost interest to consumers – a directive to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to develop a national broadband plan to increase the availability of high-speed Internet – broadband — for everyone in the U.S. In an effort to fulfill that goal, FCC recently asked any and all parties interested in the components of a national broadband plan to submit comments to the FCC for consideration. The deadline for comments was June 8th. I filed comments addressing not only the benefits of high-speed Internet services, particularly for aging communities, but also the barriers that are keeping users from adopting high-speed Internet access. Two of these barriers I have identified are online safety and privacy. Consumers will be less likely to use broadband services if they don’t have a safe and secure experience online. I urged the commission to include a strategy to address these issues in developing any national broadband plan. Specifically, the FCC should work with consumer organizations, the industry, online safety experts and others to support programs to educate Internet users about online safety and privacy. Only when issues like online safety and privacy are addressed through a national education effort, will consumers begin to feel comfortable using broadband services and engage completely in all the benefits of the online experience.
