American Broadband Initiative
NTIA plays a leadership role in the American Broadband Initiative (ABI) working with more than 25 federal agencies on strategies for increasing efficiency in government broadband programs. The ABI objectives are built on three core principles:
- Government processes should be clear, transparent, and responsive to stakeholders.
- Federal assets should provide the greatest possible benefit to stakeholders and the public.
- The federal government should be a good steward of taxpayer funds.
