HB 1336 – Public Telecommunications Service

Six percent of Washington residents have no broadband – that’s 460,000 residents. Judging from the 33,000 plus survey responses at the State Broadband Office speed test website, the number of citizens with slow broadband is potentially as high as forty percent. Washington has set a state goal for all Washington businesses and residences to have access to at least one provider of broadband with download speeds of at least 150 megabits per second.
