How can we achieve the universality goal of the National Broadband Plan? Professor Garcia and Tarkan Rosenberg see this not primarily as a problem of deployment, but of creating demand. An example of how to do this, they say, is the collaboration of the Rural Electrification Administration (REA) and the rural telephone cooperatives, which drove high levels of rural telephone penetration. They suggest how this model could be adapted to work with the National Broadband Plan, and offer some legislative recommendations to support it
