Nothing epitomizes how nascent the broadband revolution is than the all-too-common trend of bad news accompanying good news across all facets of the Internet. For example, here's an article about how Gen Y is going to change the web, how...
One of the more interesting themes I've heard now from multiple people during my travels so far in Lafayette is that while the majority of residents have gotten behind the deployment of a full fiber network, they don't really understand...
Had the great fortune to chat yesterday with Terry Huval, head of Lafayette Utility System, which is in the midst of deploying a full fiber network to the community of Lafayette, LA. We chatted about the latest happenings with this...
Sometimes you stumble across articles that both make you upset and make you think. When I first read this Newsweek article entitled "The Internet? Bah!" I found myself getting angry at passages like this: "...I'm uneasy about this most trendy...
I had the good fortune to attend an event on Capitol Hill yesterday hosted by the Internet Innovation Alliance (IIA) entitled "Closing the Broadband Gap in Rural and Underserved America." It was a first-rate panel anchored by IIA's own Bruce...
The New York Times ran a great article earlier this week entitled, "Tech's Late Adopters Prefer the Tried and True." It detailed how late adopters resist change to the patterns of use that work for them. The lead example they...
While the ultimate amount of bandwidth every home will want and demand in the next ten years is very much up for debate, there is one thing I know first hand: the less bandwidth you have the less you’ll use...
Connect Kentucky has generated tremendous buzz surrounding its efforts to spur the deployment of broadband as it builds momentum to try and establish a national model for how states can encourage growth in the supply of and demand for bandwidth....
One of the most lasting impressions from my trip to Vegas for CES last week was the prevalence not just of cool cameras and phones on display but those already in the hands of an attendee base heavily invested in...
As mentioned yesterday, I attended a panel of representatives of the biggest broadband providers in the US, including: Tom Tauke of Verizon, Jim Cicconi of AT&T;, Joseph Waz of Comcast, Mr. Ali of Sprint (my apologies to him if he's...
I'm on the ground in Vegas preparing to head out to explore what many wondrous tech treasures the mega-conference CES has to offer. Last night, while walking the Strip, my mind started to wander, taking in the sights and sounds...
It never ceases to amazes me how often the discovery of an optimistic story of the Internet comes alongside that of a pessimistic tail of failure elsewhere. Today I've had not one but two colleagues mention to me the recent...
Tech news site GigaOm.com put out a call earlier this month for its readers to submit short posts on what they're looking forward to and/or are optimistic for in 2008. The best post wins a music system, and the best...
The last month of traveling has provided me with a telling juxtaposition of images that highlight how far we still have to go in getting people to use broadband and how close we are to realizing this goal. Two weeks...
comScore, a company that tracks information relevant to the growth and adoption of the Internet, has released its latest Video Metrix report, which provides insight into the demand for online video, in this case for the month of September 2007....
After attending the Blandin Broadband conference in St. Cloud, I spent the weekend visiting friends around the Minneapolis area where I grew up. Friday night I spent with a best friend of mine that I've known since kindergarten, Jeff Valley....
Writing from the San Francisco Airport on my way to speaking at a Granicus user conference tomorrow. Going to also be meeting with a handful of applications developers while in town, which I'll be sure to recount in posts later this week. But for now I wanted to take a moment to respond to remarks made by Mark Cuban last week to a group of cable operators that, and I quote, "The Internet is dead."
Towards the end of my meetings last Monday in Lafayette I had the great fortune to sit down to chat with Andre Comeaux...What we spent most of our time talking about was his efforts to champion a study of Lafayette's current adoption and use of broadband.
I stopped by the Broadband Policy Summit last week and had the opportunity to listen to a keynote address by FCC Commissioner Robert McDowell.
