A report on rural broadband issued by FCC Acting Chairman Michael J. Copps in May offered an idea of the direction the new FCC is likely to take on broadband matters and the areas the commission will emphasize - if one reads beyond the initial summary and recommendations.rnThe Report on a Rural Broadband Strategy essentially is a status report that fulfills a mandate included in the 2008 Farm Bill. Its upfront recommendations were largely of the "flag and apple pie" variety, such as the need for better coordination between federal agencies, the states and community organizations, and the need for better information about broadband availability. But in subsequent pages, Copps offered substantial details on topics such as "middle-mile" connectivity and broadband demand, while stopping short of making specific recommendations on those topics.
