Telecom Innovation is the Story of Small Businesses that Helps other

Small Businesses Grow

Todays advances in telecommunication broadband services can be attributed to small business entrepreneurs and regulatory policies that permitted competition. Imagine if the success of your business was threatened by a large competitior who impeded your ability to offer your services to your customers.  Would you be able to compete with other businesses or succeed in the marketplace?  Of course not.

You don't have to deal with such outrageous infringements on your operations-but small, local ISP's do. For them, unfair competition and predatory practices remain a fact of life.

Today’s modern communications marketplace demands a regulatory policy in which all telecom providers compete head-to-head and invest vigorously. Such a model will deliver important advancements that enhance small-business success, such as:

• Economic and Job Growth—Employing people from your own community.
• New Tools for Productivity and Growth—Featuring broadband-driven innovations that offer small businesses extraordinary opportunities for globalization, new partnerships, enhanced marketing and productivity gains.
• Access to Innovative Choices, Services and Value—Speeding the arrival of new voice, video and Internet products that enhance daily business operations and offer new growth opportunities.
• Restoring America’s Global Competitiveness—Re-establishing our nation as an Internet innovator and improving our global broadband deployment ranking, which recently dropped to 16th place.
• Opportunities for Rural Businesses and Customers—Ensuring all Americans stay connected via an industry-wide commitment to universal service, which ensures affordable access to a basic dial tone and helps small businesses connect to opportunities in rural America.
