Obama’s Broadband Snub Wasn’t A Message
During his weekly radio address, President Barack Obama offered some specifics about his economic stimulus plan, but none related to the $6 billion allocated for broadband as part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Bill of 2009. PCWorld calls attention to that oversight, but they need to relax. There are plenty of details related to broadband in the stimulus package that will be formally introduced Monday.
Some of the bits we care about: It maintains open access to networks built by federal grants. It also funds a previously passed law to determine what areas of the country have broadband. It specifies that "advanced broadband services" must meet speeds of 45 Mbps second downlink and 15 Mbps uplink — that means DOCSIS 3.0 or fiber to the home deployments. And it defines "basic broadband services" as 5 Mbps downlink and 1 Mbps up. Wireless broadband services must meet speeds of 3 Mbps up and 1 Mbps down to be classified as advanced, meaning both WiMAX and LTE will suffice.
