Discover the benefits of telecommuting through broadband

Telecommuting can provide new opportunities for the American workforce, but to do so, home broadband availability is a must.

With unemployment rates among the highest they have ever been, telecommuting could provide many of the unemployed an opportunity to make a living again. About 17.5 million Americans who do not currently work would join the country’s workforce if given the opportunity to telecommute through a broadband connection.

The benefits of telecommuting are endless. Not only does telecommuting create jobs and reduce the 
overhead of operating costs, it even reduces the carbon footprint. And with fewer people driving into 
work, there will be less cars on the freeway to create traffic jams during the mad rush to the office. Instead of spending time
in the car, employees can even get a head start on projects and get more things accomplished daily.

Nationally, telecommuters save an estimated $5.7 billion annually in fuel alone. Such a reduction in fuel consumption will significantly contribute to the national goal of energy independence.
