The US Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is aiming to provide high-speed broadband to every American by 2020.
According to FCC estimations, a third of US citizens, about 100 million people, do not have broadband at home.
The group, which presented its plan to the Congress on March 16, aims to provide speeds of 100 megabits per second (Mbps), compared to a current average of 4Mbps.
"Broadband for every American is not too ambitious a plan and it is absolutely necessary," former FCC chairman Reed Hundt was quoted as saying in the BBC News.
In other news, the Conservative Party has promised to deliver broadband speeds of 100 Mbps to most British homes by 2017 if it wins power at the general election.
Launching its technology manifesto the party said that under a Tory government Britain "will be the first country in Europe to extend super-fast 100 mbps broadband across most of the population."
