According to the article written by Sean Hollister, “Today, the FCC has changed its definition of “broadband” to mean download speeds of 100 megabits per second and upload speeds of 20 megabits per second. It had been stuck at 25Mbps/3Mbps since 2015.” 🚀
The CNMI Broadband Policy and Development Office is extremely happy to relay this information. FCC’s updated internet speed standard further ensures that our daily activities like streaming videos, working from home, and remote learning can happen smoothly! By recognizing the needs of today’s digital society, the updated standard also allows our community to access more opportunities in education, work, and health, paving the way for a brighter, more inclusive CNMI. 🌐✨
