Measuring Broadband Performance: What Have We Learned in Four Years? from Broadband Breakfast.
In July, the Federal Communications Commission released its second “Measuring Broadband America” report. “Broadband providers have significantly improved accuracy in actual versus advertised speeds during the past year and consumers are subscribing to faster speed tiers and receiving faster speeds than ever before.” Measuring progress of bandwidth is essential to unleashing the benefits of big broadband, says the FCC, particularly in order to assure that at least 100 million homes have actual download speeds of 100 Mbps by 2020. How has broadband data made available by the FCC, and by the National Telecommunications and Information Administration’s State Broadband Initiative, changed the broadband landscape from four years ago?
Speakers at the event included:
- Martha Duggan, Senior Principal for Regulatory Affairs, The National Rural Electrical Cooperative Association
- Allan Friedman, Research Director, Center for Technology Innovation, Brookings
- Thomas Gideon, Technical Director, Open Technology Institute New America Foundation
- Steven F. Morris, Vice President & Associate General Counsel, National Cable & Telecommunications Association (NCTA)
- David E. Young, Vice President, Federal Regulatory Affairs, Verizon
The Broadband Breakfast Club is sponsored by Comcast, Google, ICF International (ICFI), The National Cable & Telecommunications Association (NCTA) the Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA) and US Telecom.
