Reuters - Mobile apps to spur broadband spending: U.S. tech czar
NEW YORK (Reuters) - The U.S. government’s new technology czar said on Thursday that new mobile phone applications could spur private investment in high-speed Internet connections, but Washington would also play a leadership role.
Aneesh Chopra, recently appointed the country’s chief technology officer by U.S. President Barack Obama, said growing mobile Internet access, underscored by the popularity of Apple Inc’s iPhone, provides more incentives for broadband infrastructure spending.
