Alternative Solutions to Achieving Ubiquitous Broadband
Added by the EDUCAUSE Librarian
Title:Alternative Solutions to Achieving Ubiquitous Broadband (ID: POL07005)
Author(s):John Muleta (M2Z Networks), Michael Cook (Hughes Network Systems), and Sam Spencer (BPL Today)
Origin:Presented at Policy Conferences (05/16/2007)
Type:Presentations/Speeches
Abstract:

Most Americans rely on DSL and cable modem for their broadband connection, but are these the only options? Other technologies once derided as impractical are beginning to show promise. Can alternative broadband technologies help facilitate the oft-repeated vision of federal policymakers to provide "affordable, ubiquitous broadband for all Americans, regardless of where they live"? Industry experts and entrepreneurs seeking to shake up the current broadband marketplace will discuss the practical progress of these alternatives to date and whether adjustments in federal IT policy regulations are needed to enable their chances for success.

Strategic Policy Issues of Broadband to the Home and Last-Mile Connectivity to the Campus - Panel Discussion
Added by the EDUCAUSE Librarian
Title:Strategic Policy Issues of Broadband to the Home and Last-Mile Connectivity to the Campus - Panel Discussion (ID: NTW0203)
Author(s):Robert Cannon, Jon Eisenberg, and James H. Snider
Origin:Presented at Policy Conferences (2002)
Type:Presentations/Speeches
Abstract:There has been a fierce national debate about whether the federal government should help facilitate the deployment of broadband technologies or rely on market forces alone. Consumer reluctance to pay higher costs for broadband services raises two questions: Why do we need broadband to the home, and what is driving demand for broadband services? Panelists will discuss what they see as driving broadband deployment, the potential for federal government intervention, and how higher education can drive this market.
