Description: 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 HFC, DSL, FTTH, and all the rest 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.
