The Federal Communications Commission's National Broadband Plan is ready to be placed in front of the Congress next week and claims to have a reach for everyone, but according to the latest buzz, FCC has asked Congress to "consider use of spectrum for a free or very low cost wireless broadband service".

This has led to lot of rumours and questions in people's minds like, who will be entitled for free broadband.

However, the FCC did not spill out the beans. There's a likelihood that some part of the spectrum would be kept aside for the use of needy and disabled at low prices or even free.

This news was not taken well by the Carriers and ISPs. They are sulking on the concept of free internet, T-Mobile in particular. It feels that the suggested service would meddle with its AWS spectrum for which it has paid more than $4 billion. While T-Mobile asserted that more testing of the band is required, M2Z Networks said that the spectrum will not cause any hindrance.

A previous attempt was made by last Administration's FCC chairman, Kevin Martin, which was opposed by Democratic lawmakers Sen. Jay Rockefeller and Rep. Henry Waxman and Martin had withdrawn the proposal at that time.

One thing is for sure, FCC's intentions are very clear. It desires to make U. S. number one in broadband services. While some parts of the U. S. have strong broadband networks and services, others do not. And in some areas, Americans do not subscribe to broadband services owing to high costs.

So, it will be worth seeing what the broadband has in store for all the Americans.
