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.

Wednesday, December 21, 2022, 12 Noon ET – Robotics, Telehealth and Future Health
Smart technologies hold incredible promise for the future of healthcare, particularly for those living in remote rural areas or who are unable to afford traditional care. Broadband has to be up for the challenges. Telehealth developments have already revolutionized the industry, optimizing patient outcomes through remote monitoring and wearable smart devices. Further developments may bridge the gap of the workforce shortage. How can we lay the groundwork now for broadband expanding data traffic? Join us for a special Live Online event featuring a panel of experts — and a telehealth robot.
Panelists:
- Arshia Khan, Professor & Director of Graduate Studies, University of Minnesota Duluth
- Craig Settles, Broadband and Telehealth Expert
- Other panelists have been invited
- Drew Clark (moderator), Editor and Publisher, Broadband Breakfast
Dr. Arshia Khan holds a bachelor of engineering in computer-engineering, an M.S. in computer science and a Ph.D in information technology. Her research efforts are directed at growing the emerging new field of biomedical and health informatics, specifically in the areas of neuroscience and therapeutic robotic assistive technology in combination with sensors and IoT (Internet of Things). This research, which combines her computer science and engineering skills with medicine, offers promising solutions to chronic neurodegenerative problems such as dementia and elderly care. Her research requires strong and varied interdisciplinary collaborations with experts in fields of cardiothoracic surgery, neuropsychology, psychology, physical therapy, dietetics, nursing and occupational therapy.
Saved from a stroke by telehealth, Craig Settles pays it forward by uniting community broadband teams and healthcare stakeholders through telehealth projects that transform healthcare delivery.
