Book excerpt: The U.S. ranks 15th among the 30 democratic nations of the OECD on one measure of broadband (i.e., high-speed Internet) subscribership. The FCC has regulatory authority over broadband, and several fed. programs fund broadband deployment. This report discusses: (1) the fed. broadband deployment policy, principal fed. programs, and stakeholders' views of those programs; (2) how the policies of OECD nations with higher subscribership rates compare with U.S. policy; and (3) actions the states have taken to encourage broadband deployment. To address these objectives, the auditor analyzed the broadband policies of the U.S. and other OECD nations, and reviewed fed. program documentation and budgetary info. Illus.
Download or read book Management of Broadband Technology and Innovation written by Jyoti Choudrie and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-11-12 with total page 363 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When one considers broadband, the Internet immediately springs to mind. However, broadband is impacting society in many ways. For instance, broadband networks can be used to deliver healthcare or community related services to individuals who don't have computers, have distance as an issue to contend with, or don't use the internet. Broadband can support better management of scarce energy resources with the advent of smart grids, enables improved teleworking capacity and opens up a world of new entertainment possibilities. Yet scholarly examinations of broadband technology have so far examined adoption, usage, or diffusion but missed exploring the capacity of broadband networks to enable new applications, the management aspects of funding and developing broadband-enabled services, or the policy environment in which such networks are developed. This book explores a wide range of issues associated with the deployment and use of broadband including its impacts on individuals, organizations, and society, and offers a generalist understanding of the technical aspects of broadband. Management of Broadband Technology and Innovation offers insights on broadband from the perspectives of Information Systems, Management, Strategy, and Communications Policy scholars, drawing on research from these disciplines to inform diverse aspects of broadband deployment, policy, and use. Issues associated with a subject technical in nature, but now researched in many ways, are emphasised. This book explains various softer aspects of broadband deployment and use, focusing on the benefits of broadband rather than on details of the technology.

Government Accountability Office and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-07-25 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: " RUS provides loans and grants to help finance the construction of broadband infrastructure in rural America. GAO was asked to review RUS's management of its programs to fund broadband deployment, including consistency with leading practices for federal funding, program management, and broadband deployment. This report examines the extent to which RUS's procedures and activities are consistent with leading practices and how, if at all, its management practices could be improved. GAO synthesized, from federal guidance and relevant literature, a set of 10 leading practices that would be appropriate for the management of broadband loan and grant programs. GAO validated its set of practices with states that have programs similar to the RUS programs. GAO then reviewed RUS documentation and interviewed RUS officials and six program recipients, selected for having geographically dispersed projects currently under construction. Based on this information, GAO determined whether RUS's procedures and activities were consistent, partially consistent, or not consistent with each leading practice. "

Download or read book Broadband written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2002-02-25 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Broadband communication expands our opportunities for entertainment, e-commerce and work at home, health care, education, and even e-government. It can make the Internet more useful to more people. But it all hinges on higher capacity in the "first mile" or "last mile" that connects the user to the larger communications network. That connection is often adequate for large organizations such as universities or corporations, but enhanced connections to homes are needed to reap the full social and economic promise. Broadband: Bringing Home the Bits provides a contemporary snapshot of technologies, strategies, and policies for improving our communications and information infrastructure. It explores the potential benefits of broadband, existing and projected demand, progress and failures in deployment, competition in the broadband industry, and costs and who pays them. Explanations of broadband's alphabet soup â€" HFC, DSL, FTTH, and all the rest â€" are included as well. The report's finding and recommendations address regulation, the roles of communities, needed research, and other aspects, including implications for the Telecommunications Act of 1996.

This book was released on 2019-05 with total page 94 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report outlines a vision for how the Federal Government can increase broadband access and actions that Agencies are taking to increase private-sector investment in broadband. Previous attempts to expand broadband connectivity have made progress and provided valuable lessons that guide this Initiative. The report's recommendations are grouped into three categories: streamlining Federal permitting processes to speed broadband deployment, leveraging Federal assets to lower the cost of broadband buildouts, and maximizing the impact of Federal funding. Highlights of Federal Agencies' actions include: Launch and Effectively Execute $600 million in New Federal Investment in Rural Broadband, Using Strategies to Spur Private-Sector Capital and Maximize the Value of Taxpayer Dollars. The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) is preparing to deploy a new congressional appropriation of $600 million for an innovative broadband pilot program, based on modern, effective strategies that will catalyze increased private-sector investment in broadband infrastructure. These investments will prioritize projects that deploy broadband infrastructure in rural areas that are currently insufficiently connected, with the goal of increasing productivity and improving rural quality of life.This compilation includes a reproduction of the 2019 Worldwide Threat Assessment of the U.S. Intelligence Community.American Broadband Initiative * Broadband Deployment and Adoption in America * Broadband Deployment in America * Broadband Adoption in America * Mobile Broadband Deployment and Adoption * American Broadband Initiative - Workstreams * Streamline Federal Permitting * Leverage Federal Assets for Broadband Deployment * Maximize the Impact of Federal Funding * Additional Agency Actions in Support of the Initiative * Next Steps

Download or read book State and Federal Policies to Accelerate Broadband Deployment written by Lynne Holt and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 45 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the enactment of the federal Telecommunications Act of 1996, the federal government has taken an incremental and decentralized approach toward ensuring availability of broadband services for all Americans. The federal government and the states have tried to reconcile two sometimes incompatible objectives of promoting competition among broadband service providers and reducing gaps in broadband deployment between sparsely and more densely populated regions. Federal and state funding mechanisms have been used to subsidize supply and stimulate demand in regions where private cost-benefit analyses have not justified investments in broadband infrastructure. In the absence of a national broadband policy, states have initiated their own programs for identifying gaps in broadband services between rural and urban areas. This article explains how the federal-state partnership has evolved since 1996 to further broadband deployment and subscription goals, particularly in matters of shared public policy concern, such as health care services, education, economic development, and public safety and security. Finally, this article suggests a linear five-step approach for state broadband policy development in the context of this evolving federal-state partnership and rapidly changing technology. Examples of state laws enacted to facilitate broadband access are cited to illustrate state strategies toward reducing deployment gaps and increasing subscription. The Federal Communication Commission's latest order regarding data collection and its reconstituted Federal State Joint Conference on Advanced Services may provide an opportunity for joint state-federal strategic policy formulation in the vein of that adopted by some states described in this article.

Book excerpt: Environmental sustainability has become one of the most salient issues on the policy agenda of nation-states. This book argues that planning is seldom credited by advocates of environmental politics. The authors, leading scholars in the field, explore the relationship between environmental sustainability - one of the most important innovations in recent political discourse and planning, an idea which has slipped from public attention recently.
Download or read book Beyond Broadband Access written by Richard D. Taylor and published by Fordham Univ Press. This book was released on 2013-07-01 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After broadband access, what next? What role do metrics play in understanding “information societies”? And, more important, in shaping their policies? Beyond counting people with broadband access, how can economic and social metrics inform broadband policies, help evaluate their outcomes, and create useful models for achieving national goals? This timely volume not only examines the traditional questions about broadband, like availability and access, but also explores and evaluates new metrics more applicable to the evolving technologies of information access. Beyond Broadband Access brings together a stellar array of media policy scholars from a wide range of disciplines—economics, law, policy studies, computer science, information science, and communications studies. Importantly, it provides a well-rounded, international perspective on theoretical approaches to databased communications policymaking in the Americas, Europe, Asia, and Africa. Showcasing a diversity of approaches, this invaluable collection helps to meet myriad challenges to improving the foundations for communications policy development.
