'Greater Diversity' of Broadband Providers Would Give Consumers 'More Choice,' Hillary Clinton Says

Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Clinton on Monday named broadband competitiveness a priority. “Let’s build those faster broadband networks and make sure there’s a greater diversity of providers so consumers have more choice,” Clinton declared during an economic policy speech at the New School in Manhattan. Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., who also is seeking the Democratic nomination, outlined concerns about broadband pricing last week (see 1507100045).
