| I noted Dave Isenberg emailed some friends a comment (copied in full below) to his F2C list serve about my response to a question he asked at the F2C Conference recently. To quote Dave’s observation: The big moment came when Verizon VP Kathy Brown answered my question, "Would Verizon block, throttle or cap video conferencing over FIOS?" Her answer -- and I paraphrase only because I did not record her exact words -- she said absolutely not. Video conferencing, using hi-res formats and... |

| Yesterday’s roundtable at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C on the environmental benefits of broadband and consumer electronics was a good start to a conversation that we should have. (See, if you subscribe: “Expected Energy Savings From Broadband Critiqued” in the Oct. 31, 2007, issue of National Journal’s Technology Daily.) Steve Pociask, an economist with TeleNomics, examined, at our request, the literature on the impact of ubiquitous broadband on greenhouse gas emissions. The... |
