MOORESVILLE, N.C. — President Barack Obama is calling for the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to lead a campaign that would bring high-speed broadband Internet to 99 percent of K-12 schools by 2018.
Entitled the ConnectED initiative, the President unveiled his plan at Mooresville Middle School last week during his “Middle Class Jobs and Opportunity” tour.
