According to her speech she will make sure by 2020 each house in United States of America will get high speed internet access for free. She also declared to deploy 5G wireless technology in the states. But the thing what is important to the people other than American is that she declared to start “Start-up” visa service under which the international student pursuing their Masters or Ph.D.’s studies under STEM (Science Technology Engineering and Mathematics) accredited courses in the USA will get green card stapled to their visa from the accredited institutions.
