New Report to Highlight Broadband Benefits for Elderly and Disabled

 
An announcement today says that on Thursday, Dec. 8, 2005, the New Millennium Research Council will release a new report pointing to broadband deployment as a key to reducing U.S. healthcare costs and boosting the nation's economy.


 
The new report, "Great Expectations: Potential Economic Benefits From Accelerated Broadband Deployment to Older Americans and Americans With Disabilities," is authored by Bob Litan, described as a Kauffman Foundation and Brookings Institution scholar. Litan will present his findings at a luncheon in Washington, D.C. at 12 noon ET (see PDF invitation). The presentation will reportedly be available by audio feed and archive -- follow link for details.


 
According to today's announcement, Litan's report will point to cost savings and large economic benefits that could result from broadband deployment expediting telemedicine, independent living and telework. Litan intends to argue that "accelerated broadband should be made a much higher national priority than it is today" because of the potential benefits.
