Broadband universal service

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Is this a notable concept or just a student essay? A large part of the article is a fork of National Broadband Plan (United States). &mdash; RHaworth 09:19, 6 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep This is a notable topic. The article needs to be improved, especially made more clear and given an international scope, as well as more "encyclopedic" language. But good work by the author. Steve Dufour (talk) 12:12, 6 May 2011 (UTC)


 * RHaworth makes a good point. This is a notable topic, the article does need to be improved, but what will the difference be between "Broadband universal service" and "National Broadband Plan (United States)?"  This article seems to deal solely with "universal broadband" service in the United States. Banaticus (talk) 21:02, 6 May 2011 (UTC)

Thank you for your comments and discussion. Broadband universal service is a much broader concept than the National Broadband Plan. I will add some more content on the entry. Oceanski (talk) 21:02, 8 May 2011 (UTC)

Hi, I have added some international cases and expanded the discussion of the ongoing efforts to reform universal service and to develop the Connect America Fund. Please take a look. If you have any questions or comments, please let me know. Thank you. Oceanski (talk) 19:16, 9 May 2011 (UTC)  Please add new comments below this notice.

 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.
