The public notice states, "In the course of the Commission’s development of a National Broadband Plan, its review of the record and discussions during the broadband workshops, several parties have suggested that a broadband clearinghouse should be created for easy access to broadband best practices. A broadband clearinghouse could reduce information barriers for municipalities, agencies, businesses, and non-profits that want insights into more effectively utilizing broadband infrastructure, or into broadband deployment or adoption projects. Such a clearinghouse could also provide information and a forum for scholars and policymakers to gather and contribute data. We seek targeted comment on the notion of a broadband clearinghouse."
