• Obama Behind Telecommuting
Telecommuters, freelancers, and work at home entreprenuers take heart, help is on the way.
Given that the President works at home, and is techno-savvy, it’s encouraging to hear that the $7.2 billion in funding to promote high-speed Internet that’s in the stimulus package is just the first step in the Obama administration’s effort to fuel expansion of telecommunications services.
That’s a lot of money, but not nearly enough, so we’re delighted to hear that there are other plans to help raise the U.S. standard of cyber-living. Depending who you ask we’re currently about 15th in broadband price/performance among developed nations.
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) will have a year under the bill Obama will sign later this week to develop a national strategy for broadband. About damn time, we say; and they might start by looking at the Universal Service Fund that helps provide nationwide telephone service.
Actually, we wouildn’t be a bit surprised to see renewed Congressional interest in the telecommuting bills that have languished for years without being passed or implemented. Maybe this time?

The President is correct, you are either producing or not. It does not matter where you sit, in fact telecommuting and producing results gives you a tremendous sense of liberty and freedom. IBM employs tens of thousands who work from home, including top level programmers!
