A SUGGESTED FLORIDA BROADBAND POLICY AND STRATEGY

Posted by Jim Tait in Broadband on October 21, 2009

by: Jim Tait Fiber and Broadband
contributors: Mark Hewitt, John Reynolds, Jim Baller

Note: Since the original Florida Policy and Strategy discussion begun last spring, a number of developments have taken place. We have reviewed, as a state and individually, the first round of stimulus proposals affecting Florida for NTIA/BTOP grants. The FCC has reached almost the three-quarters point in developing the required National Broadband Strategy due February 19, 2010. Many of its inquiries are bearing fruit and provide significant data. In addition, many public and private partnerships have emerged, and more are developing, to capture the power for transformation of our economy and societal institutions provided by ubiquitous broadband access.

Net Neutrality: Opened vs. Governed

Posted by Mark Hewitt in Broadband on October 6, 2009

Organized by Carl Ford: FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski has expanded from four to six the principles of freedom associated with Net Neutrality. Now however these principles are now going to be codified into regulatory rules. So the question has to be asked can the concept of Open be governed. Join us as we look at how these principles will be incorporated into policy. What companies, services and devices will be subject to these rules. And discuss if the jurisdiction of the FCC has to be modified to enable these principles.

Participants include: Todd Daubert of Kelley Drye and Hank Hultquist of AT&T.

Conference will be held on the CalliFlower platform – Net Neutrality

The bell has sounded on round one of the Broadband Stimulus application process the doors closed Friday (August 14th, 2009) at 5:00 pm with an extension for electronic filing until this Thursday (August 20th, 2009) at 5:00 pm. Round two has already begun with a plethora of anticipated improvements in both the process and definitions. It may be important to remember that when Obama set the FCC in motion to stimulate the advancement of Broadband in our country it was to place us “Second to none” where today we at best might be ranked at 20th in the world for speed, affordability, and access to Read the rest of this entry »

Broadband Conduit Bill gets endorsement

Posted by Mark Hewitt in Broadband on June 21, 2009

Genachowski endorsement of the Broadband Conduit Bill to include conduits and fiber in all federal highway construction calls for “Industry Best Practices”.

Largely the work of the “New America Foundation” this common sense bill should introduce a level playing field for new and emerging solutions for a National Broadband infrastructure.
