| New ITIF Report Provides Dispassionate Information on Network Management The Information Technology and Innovation Foundation (ITIF) released a new report last week, “A Policymaker’s Guide to Network Management”, authored by Senior Analyst George Ou. The report is another in a series of reports the ITIF has done on broadband and Internet technology issues in an attempt to sort through the arguments and put on the table well supported facts to help make the debates on various issues more... |

| Recently, I participated in a debate held by the New America Foundation about a new paper authored by Tim Wu and Derek Slater called “Homes with Tails”. You can see the debate here. In a nutshell, the paper proposes that one way to help address the lack of broadband availability in some areas is to allow consumers to purchase and own the local fiber link that goes from their homes out to the network providers’ distribution plant. The paper argued that the lack of broadband availability in... |

| Americans have just been through an extraordinary election. Two phrases became a central feature of the campaign that strangely enough relate directly to my industry – the communications sector – and my company - Verizon. “Change” and “Yes We Can.”Broadband technology began to be deployed in the U. S. in latter part of the 1990’s. Wireless technology began to grow rapidly in that same time frame. Both of these technologies transformed the communications industry. Competition had emerged... |

| The Economist has a fascinating article that suggests that the “paperless office”, long touted as outgrowth of the move to digital and networked technologies, is “no longer a joke” and “getting closer.” This is another example of how technologies evolve and how businesses and consumers adapt to and rework technologies over time. There is an old saying with regard to technology that “We tend to overestimate the short-term impact of technological change and underestimate its long-term impact... |

| I’ve written lots of posts about broadband as a platform for helping address key social challenges such as health care, education and energy efficiency. There is lots of evidence that broadband is a major driver of a strong economy too. The Information Technology and Innovation Foundation has just issued a major study that adds even more evidence that broadband is a “transformational” technology as our CEO Ivan Seidenberg said in a speech earlier this year. But ITIF’s study goes even... |
