Summary Box: FCC unveils sweeping broadband plan
THE PROPOSAL: Bring high-speed Internet access to more areas of the country and make existing connections faster.

THE SKEPTICISM: It’s not certain that the Federal Communications Commission can find the corporate support and legal clearance to fully carry out it out.
