Alliance for Digital Equality Statement on Cisco's CRS-3 Carrier Routing System (CRS)

ATLANTA, March 9 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The Alliance for Digital Equality (ADE), issued the following statement regarding today's announcement that Cisco has introduced a major advancement in Internet networking - the Cisco® CRS-3 Carrier Routing System (CRS) - designed to serve as the foundation of the next-generation Internet and set the pace for the astonishing growth of video transmission, mobile devices and new online services through this decade and beyond:

"The Internet of tomorrow is being created by Cisco and others today. These cutting-edge investments are essential to our economy but they alone will not secure our digital future. To fully benefit from these innovative investments we must have a nationwide infrastructure that allows everyone, everywhere to participate in the digital revolution.  As we seek to reset the jobs-related skills of millions of Americans who are both unemployed and under employed, the Alliance for Digital Equality is optimistic that the National Broadband Plan to be unveiled next week by the Federal Communications Commission will allow Cisco and other industry leaders to fully leverage their enormous capital, technological and human resources to enhance a national broadband network that leaves no community behind."
