National Broadband Plan: A 25X Faster Web

Reuters

U.S. regulators released a blueprint for upgrading Internet access for all Americans, with Internet speeds up to 25 times the current average, expanded coverage and more airwaves for mobile services. U.S. regulators released a blueprint for upgrading Internet access for all Americans, with Internet speeds up to 25 times the current average, expanded coverage and more airwaves for mobile services. The U.S. Federal Communications Commission plan released on Monday comes as the Internet increasingly delivers everything from telephone service to movies, music and banking services. Nearly 200 million Americans had fast Internet access at home last year, but about 100 million do not, says the FCC document. "Like electricity a century ago, broadband is a foundation for economic growth, job creation, global competitiveness and a better way of life."

Requested by Congress, the plan of over 350 pages looks set to touch off intense lobbying by communications companies over legislation and FCC rules that will underpin the goals. A shift in airwaves from broadcasters like CBS Corp could benefit wireless providers like AT&T and Verizon Wireless.

While upgrading the nation's wireless and wireline networks would be a boost for companies like equipment maker Alcatel Lucent SA, wireless chip maker Qualcomm and fiber optic providers like Corning Inc. Several elements of the plan had emerged in the past few weeks but the five members of the FCC are due to vote Tuesday on issuing a summary of "Connecting America: The National Broadband Plan." A House Energy and Commerce Committee panel will hold a March 25 hearing on the FCC's proposals.

Expanding Coverage

A Connect America Fund would receive up to $15.5 billion over the next decade, using money shifted from the Universal Service Fund that currently supports telephone service for the poor and rural areas. The plan aims to have 100 million American households get Internet speeds of 100 megabits per second (Mbps) by 2020 -- a speed that would allow a consumer to download a two-hour, high-definition movie in less than 10 minutes. As an interim goal, the plan calls for 100 million U.S. homes have 50 Mbps Internet speeds by 2015. The current household average speed is about 4 Mbps. Even homes with cable or fiber Internet access only achieve speeds averaging 5 Mbps to 6 Mbps.

Cisco Systems Inc recently announced it would introduce a router that can handle Internet traffic up to 12 times faster than rival products. Google Inc has said it plans to build a super-fast Internet network to show that it can be done. The FCC has praised both announcements.

Shifting Airways

The plan stresses the need to devote more airwaves to the anticipated explosion of handheld devices capable of playing movies and music in addition to handling emails and voice calls. The agency says it is seeking expanded authority from Congress to hold auctions that would provide incentives for broadcasters to give up some of their airwaves for purchase by wireless companies. The FCC said it would leave open the possibility of taking action if broadcasters do not voluntarily give up spectrum. Analysts said meeting even the FCC's 50 Mbps interim goal would likely take a lot more investment by companies like AT&T and Qwest Communications International Inc.

"Five years from now it would be tough for them to get anything of any size done," said Stifel Nicolaus analyst Christopher King, "they would really need to start today." Some analysts have also been skeptical about whether the airwaves reallocation would appeal to broadcasters unless the FCC offers them a big percentage of the auction proceeds. FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski told Reuters on Friday that "a number of broadcasters" were open to his "win-win" plan, which would have them give up airwave licenses for auction in exchange for receiving a share of the proceeds.

Want to install a Simple, Fast, Secure, Multi station Network?

It’s Simple, use the next generation Multi‐Dwelling Unit Networking Kit, the most powerful solution for delivering broadband network access to every room or office in your Multi‐Dwelling Unit (MDU).

Setup and installation of a MDU Network:

Creating the network is as simple as plugging the master head‐end unit called a LV Gateway into an Internet router (or other Internet source) and coupling the output to the establishment’s electrical grid.

Network Users are added to the network by plugging a CPE adapter (Corinex AV200) into a standard electrical outlet at a desired workstation location and then connecting it to an Ethernet capable device. This can be repeated for up to 20 stations – there is no software to load or configure!

Each AV200 Desktop adapter (CPE) can be located throughout the dwelling wherever an internet connection is required – no additional setup is necessary! The output from the CPE can be connected directly to a computer or Ethernet capable device (including a hub/switch) providing a fast, stable internet connection.

Portability and Flexibility:

Moving the office? No problem – simply unplug an adapter and move it to the another office or room, or unplug all of adapters and the master unit and install them in the new location. In about an hour, the new location will be back up and running and your company is ready to work!

The Multi‐Dwelling Unit network system can also be configured using SNMP for advanced management options like setting VLAN’s. From monitoring and configuring to remotely accessing and controlling devices, The MDU network system gives network managers control of the network from any web enabled PC.

An emerging technology may be the newest heavy hitter in the competitive world of broadband Internet service. It offers high-speed access to your home through the most unlikely path: a common electrical outlet. With broadband over power lines, or BPL, you can plug your computer into any electrical outlet in your home and instantly have access to high-speed Internet.

Despite the proliferation of broadband technology in the last few years, there are still huge parts of the world that don't have access to high-speed Internet. When weighed against the relatively small number of customers Internet providers would gain, the cost of laying cable and building the necessary infrastructure to provide DSL or cable in rural areas is too great. But if broadband could be served through power lines, there would be no need to build a new infrastructure. Anywhere there is electricity there could be broadband. The idea of using AC (alternating current) power to transfer data is not new.

By bundling radio-frequency (RF) energy on the same line with an electric current, data can be transmitted without the need for a separate data line. Because the electric current and RF vibrate at different frequencies, the two don't interfere with each other. Electric companies have used this technology for years to monitor the performance of power grids. There are even networking solutions available today that transfer data using the electrical wiring in a home or business. But this data is fairly simple and the transmission speed is relatively slow like phone companies, power companies also have lines strung all over the world. The difference is that they have power lines in a lot more places than phone companies have fiber optics.
