WikiProject United States Public Policy (defunct)

This article is within the scope of WikiProject United States Public Policy, a project which is currently considered to be defunct.

This article is or was the subject of a Wiki Education Foundation-supported course assignment. Further details are available on the course page. Assigned student editor(s): Morenoddestiny.

Sentence[edit]

I found this sentence a little bit confusing for the average reader:

The Internet is widely but not universally used in the United States. Access is available in a variety of forms.

It seems there should be a little bit more of an explanation between what it means the internet being used widely and universally. Thanks--Camilo Sanchez (talk) 22:19, 13 June 2009 (UTC)

Updating for the Time Warner/Comcast merger[edit]

IIRC Time Warner recently bought out Comcast and the two companies merged. Should the article and the chart data be edited to reference that?

No reference to Google Fiber and fiber-optic communications in America[edit]

I'll get some sources and see if i can make the edit — Preceding unsigned comment added by 206.219.69.131 (talk) 15:20, 26 February 2014 (UTC)
