Category Archives: BroadbandWeek in Review: Mobile World Congress and FCC Broadband PlansFebruary 25, 2010 – 4:29 pm
Last week’s Mobile World Congress in Barcelona spurred the industry’s usual flurry of excitement over the latest mobile handsets. While I didn’t attend myself, it was interesting to watch the chatter around all sectors of the conference, especially this year’s focus on software. The mobile operating systems introduced, such as Microsoft’s Windows Phone 7 Series and Symbian 3, prove [...] U.S. University Creates WiMAX Environment Model to ReplicateFebruary 2, 2010 – 1:47 pm
I was excited to see that several higher ed institutions have recently hopped on the WiMAX bandwagon – a logical implementation to help schools increase productivity and decrease wireless costs. According to a recent article on Wimax.com, Ball State University (BSU) spearheaded a wireless research and innovation initiative by partnering with our friends at Alvarion [...] Stimulus Funding Begins to Roll OutDecember 18, 2009 – 4:18 pm
“One key to strengthening education, entrepreneurship, and innovation in communities.is to harness the full power of the Internet, and that means faster and more widely available broadband,” said President Barack Obama on September 21, 2009.

As many of you might have seen, this week saw the continued expansion of WiMAX technology across the country, through network launches by Clearwire, Towerstream and Time Warner. Clearwire announced two new markets – Honolulu and Seattle. As Kevin Fitchard from Telephony notes in an article, this marks the end of the company’s 2009 rollout and [...] In My Next 40 Years…September 8, 2009 – 3:26 pm
I wanted to start off today’s post by thanking the organizers of last week’s 4GWE event. I enjoyed giving a keynote about the broadband stimulus and its many elements, from the rules and regulations to the recent submission process. The event was a tremendous success and I am looking forward to the January event in [...] FCC Hits the Web with its BlogbandAugust 26, 2009 – 3:26 pm
According to a recent post by GigaOM’s Om Malik, the FCC announced the launch of their new blog titled “Blogband“. The goal? To keep people up to date about the work of the FCC, foster public dialog about the National Broadband Plan and, perhaps most importantly, capture ideas and feedback from the people and businesses directly [...] Towerstream and the Broadband StimulusAugust 25, 2009 – 3:29 pm
As many of you may know, the deadline for broadband stimulus applications was last Thursday, August 20. You may also be aware that Towerstream has officially applied for the program. Vacation, Time to Get Away – But not from your Internet!August 5, 2009 – 10:38 am
I read a recent GigaOM post today by Om Malik about connectivity to work during summer vacations. The post was in response to a recent survey by LogMeIn (via LinkedIn) asking “Do you plan to stay connected during your summer vacation?” Om noted, “A surprising 85 percent of small business workers said they planned [...] Broadband (or lack thereof!) in the Big AppleJuly 31, 2009 – 9:47 am
I’m back in Rhode Island today after a very productive couple of days in NYC. As you might expect, top of my agenda for the NY trip was the broadband stimulus. The Broadband Stimulus Marches OnJuly 6, 2009 – 6:30 pm
It’s been a busy few days in the broadband world. As many of you probably know, the Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) for the broadband stimulus program was announced last week, outlining the rules for both the Broadband Initiatives Program (BIP) and the Broadband Technology Opportunities Program (BTOP). The massive NOFA document is 120+ pages [...] | ||
