1) Building a broadband network called an Economic Development Network (EDNet) could cost $750,000-$1,000,000 to install along 7 miles of fiber.
2) Such a network could generate $40,000 per month or $480,000 annually in revenue for the local Economic Development Authority by having 300 customers sign up through a service provider for either 100MB or 1GB internet connections priced at $199 and $499 per month respectively.
3) Key questions remain about how many potential customers or "premises" exist in the target area, what the initial customer sign-ups and conversions would be over 5 years, and which "anchor" businesses would commit initially.
At the annual Commission for Rural Communities conference in Birmingham, UK, I presented on the state of broadband in rural areas based on the work done for their "Mind the Gap" report.

The document outlines a proposal for Cloud Valley, a 16 x 10Gbps Layer II logical mesh network in Cork, Ireland. It would be operated as a not-for-profit cooperative and connect 16 key sites via existing infrastructure from providers like BT, Eircom, and Cork County City Council. The network would benefit local businesses by providing faster speeds, lower costs, and support for economic growth in areas like software and data centers. Initial costs are estimated at €9,000 per node for capital expenditures and €12,000 annually per node for operating expenses.
The Netherlands are known as one of the worlds leading countries regarding penetration rates of broadband. Every official statistic published comes to that conclusion.
What still is less acknowledged, is that The Netherlands rank first in the world for consumers access to Next Generation Broadband Networks. This presentation provides the figures and explanation of the leading position in World rankings.
The document discusses fibre optic networks and projects in various regions of British Columbia. It mentions that Telus plans to invest $21.5 million in Nanaimo to expand its wireless and wireline networks by laying hundreds of kilometres of fibre optic cable. It also discusses fibre networks and projects underway or planned in communities like the Kootenays, Grand Forks, Chilliwack, Kamloops, Golden, Kitimat, Terrace, Prince Rupert, Prince George, and Tumbler Ridge.
RCOM offers a domestic fiber network spanning 70,000 km connecting over 1.15 million buildings, as well as international networks totaling over 87,000 km. RIL acquiring RCOM's infrastructure would allow it to build out networks at a fraction of the cost, and leverage RCOM's spectrum and cables for last-mile access. The deal improves RCOM's debt ratio and provides it with funds to focus on profitability rather than growth for two years. However, the partnership poses a major threat to Bharti, as the combined RCOM-RIL entity will have significant resources and scale to challenge Bharti on all mobile network fronts. Bharti will need to heavily invest to maintain its advantages in traditional
Connected by Telcom provides plug-and-play dark fibre internet connections with unlimited capacity, which they claim is the inevitable future for connectivity. Most buildings were constructed before the internet era, so digital masterplanning is needed for successful fibre deployment to support cities' economic goals. Connectivity, location, and cost are the three most important factors for creating a connected city.
Africa is on the verge of a telecommunications boom, with 11 terabits of bandwidth connecting it to the rest of the world by 2011, up dramatically from 340 gigabits in 2008. This increased connectivity is driven by massive investments in infrastructure by African telecom operators and the laying of new submarine cables along the coast. As a result, internet and mobile access are growing exponentially, costs are decreasing rapidly, and Africa will have some of the fastest fiber networks in the world, fueling economic development and integration into the global marketplace.
This document summarizes the history of internet and ICT development in Korea from the 1980s to present. It describes key milestones such as the development of DRAM chips in the 80s, adoption of technologies like ISDN, BISDN/ATM, CDMA mobile networks and DSL/cable broadband in the 90s and 2000s. It also outlines Korea's progress in fiber infrastructure from FTTC to current FTTH networks and compares this to Japan. The document attributes Korea's rapid broadband development to factors like deregulation, competition among internet service providers, and an early adopting population.

The Coalition of Democrats for Electoral Reform (CODER) observed the botched April 2011 National Assembly elections in Nigeria. CODER is committed to free and fair elections. Their observations found issues including absent or late electoral officials in 60 reports (34%), incomplete voting materials in 31 reports (18%), and violence in 24 reports (14%). CODER established an election monitoring website, Pollwatch2011.com, to collect reports of irregularities from the public and observers across Nigeria. The website also maps reported issues by state.
Greg Gamble has degrees in engineering, computer science, and mathematics. He has experience developing software for computer algebra systems like GAP and Magma, as well as writing documentation and interfaces. Most recently, he developed GAP packages to interface C programs from within GAP.
Gender and class grouping systems categorize nouns in languages. Some languages have natural gender systems like English that group nouns as masculine, feminine or neutral. Dyirbal, an Australian Aboriginal language, has a more complex 4 class noun system. The class a noun belongs to determines the pronoun used to refer to it. Traditionally, Class 1 was for male things, Class 2 for dangerous females and items, Class 3 for edible plants, and Class 4 for inanimate objects. Younger speakers of Dyirbal now have a simplified 2 class system of male versus everything else.

What Fiber to the Home Can Do For Your CommunityMia Nickels
This document discusses the benefits of fiber to the home (FTTH) broadband networks. It argues that FTTH networks provide more reliable and higher bandwidth internet access that can boost economic growth and productivity. FTTH enables new applications and services in healthcare, education, entertainment and more. While FTTH has higher initial installation costs than existing copper networks, it has lower long-term operating costs and enables higher revenue opportunities. The document advocates that governments and communities consider FTTH networks as a key infrastructure investment for future economic and social development.
The book discusses how the US telecom industry has shifted from being a benchmark for fast, widely available, and affordable internet a decade ago to now having slower speeds, lower penetration rates, and higher prices than other developed nations due to monopolistic practices by companies like AT&T and Verizon. The author Susan Crawford argues that this lack of competition is stifling innovation and harming the American economy. The book aims to bring awareness to the problems caused by monopoly power in the telecom industry and lack of net neutrality regulations.
The revolution around the corner - How the Internet of Things changes everyth...Martin Spindler
The slides for my talk at re:publica 2012. From the description of the talk:
Streetlights are online, geiger counters are. Fridges are online for the better part of the last ten years and cars are just now coming online. There’s hardly any consumer electronics left that aren’t in some way communicating on the internet. And with chips getting ever cheaper and ever smaller, even lightbulbs now communicate with the smart phone. There’s houses that tweet and pill cases that send SMS. All in all, there’s more “Things” on the mobile phone networks now than people. Everything’s connected it seems.
How about a little help then in setting it all into context?
The document discusses how the Internet of Things is changing everything again by connecting billions of devices together through the internet. It notes that by 2020 there will be over 50 billion internet connected devices and over 6 internet connected devices per person on average. These internet connected devices, powered by advances like Moore's Law, will transform homes and everyday objects into "smart" devices that are part of a global network.

It will feature keynote speaker Craig Rispin, a business futurist and innovation expert. The summit aims to provide insights from neuroscience on how leaders can improve safety and performance.
Bob Frankston's presentation at eComm 2008eComm2008
The document discusses the opportunities available by moving away from a telecom-centric view of connectivity and embracing an approach focused on networking and the sharing of infrastructure. Key points made include:
1) Networking is something we do and we can use any means available to innovate, unlike the telecom model which focuses on predefined networks and services.
2) Abundant connectivity is possible if we are not constrained by the past and recognize that bits have no intrinsic scarcity or value assigned by providers.
3) The telecom model aims to monetize networks and bits but this is inherently dysfunctional since the internet is based on abundance and costs are effectively zero.
4) We should focus
This document provides an opening presentation on the importance of US leadership in IPv6. It discusses how US investment in IPv6 could lead to economic benefits but a lack of investment could result in economic decline compared to other nations that actively support IPv6. It also justifies how federal funding of IPv6 aligns with the US Constitution and could have significant returns through new industries and export opportunities.
The document discusses the growth of text messaging and argues that predictions that it would not catch on have been proven wrong by the 6.1 trillion text messages sent annually. It provides examples of how text messaging is used for a variety of purposes including disaster communication, entertainment, customer service, and scheduling. The document also discusses how text messaging began as an unintended feature of mobile phones and has become a mainstream form of communication.
This document discusses strategies for the Internet of Things (IoT). It summarizes three laws (Moore's law, Koomey's law, and Metcalfe's law) that drive development of the IoT by increasing viability, feasibility, and providing incentives. It notes that while services attached to devices are important, the "smarts" should be placed carefully and connectivity alone shouldn't be sold - instead, a product solving problems from the start is key. The core logic of the Internet follows a power law distribution, unlike the normal distribution of the past.

This document discusses how backhoes, which are used to lay cable for telecommunications companies, do not follow Moore's Law of increasing processing power over time like computers do. It argues this has implications for the computer and internet industries, as their growth depends on infrastructure built by equipment like backhoes. It then analyzes five issues - internet intelligence, bandwidth constraints, the value of internet telephony, delivering all media over IP, and unlimited pricing - from a non-computer-centric viewpoint, challenging common assumptions. The document concludes that expectations for the internet may be unrealistic given infrastructure limitations.
1) Data is growing exponentially faster than Moore's Law, with an 80% compound annual growth rate compared to Moore's 40%. This growth is straining data center capacity and energy efficiency gains cannot keep up with demand.
2) Ray Kurzweil's "law of accelerating returns" suggests information generation will increase by over 10 million times from 2009 to 2020. This encourages more frequent hardware refreshes and questions the sustainability of keeping ICT hardware for over 3 years.
3) While data centers strive for efficiency through techniques like low PUE, industry predictions suggest data and associated energy usage will grow at rates that may exceed sustainable levels without new technological paradigms or limits on data growth.
This article introduces IoT basics: what is IoT, and the 7 common IoT protocols.
What is the Internet of Things (IoT)?
The concept of the Internet of Things (IoT) should not be new to readers. The concept of the Internet of Things was first introduced in 1999, and it has been called the third wave of the world's information industry development after computers and the Internet and has been developed for more than 20 years.
Nowadays, in our daily life, we have access to many IoT products, such as various smart home appliances, smart door locks, etc. These are the more mature applications of IoT technology.
The earliest definition of IoT is to connect all items to the Internet through information sensing devices such as radio frequency identification to achieve intelligent identification and management. Of course, with the development of the Internet of Things to today, its definition and scope have been extended and changed, the following are the characteristics of the modern Internet of Things.

Text Messaging in education why use it ? Why not turn it on its head why not ...Andy Black
This document discusses emerging technologies and their potential uses in education. It explores how text messaging has grown tremendously and could be used educationally rather than dismissing it. Mobile learning is mentioned as being more than just 1:1 devices but enabling collaboration. Examples are given throughout history where technologies were initially dismissed but later grew to be widely adopted.
Since 1986 a global debate has raged on copper or fibre in the local loop, and despite all the evidence the copper heads have pursued a path of survival at any cost with outrageous claims of what they can deliver. With claims of ‘up-to’ download speeds and homes passed (not connected), and crosstalk induced asymmetry they have never delivered what was said on the tin. And worst, with great temerity they insist on dictating to customers as to the bandwidth they really need.
We have now (probably) reached a peak of the lunacy with FTTCabinet/Kerb and pole top G.Fast developers claiming speeds of 1,000Mbit/s delivered. They can no more deliver such speeds than 10Mbit/s unless it is over impractically short spans. You can deliver 10Gbit/s over 5m of twisted pair or 100Gbit/s over 1m, but it aint of much practical use. In contrast optical fibre can deliver 1, 10, 100 Gbit/s over 100km using <10% of the energy demanded by copper.
So in November 2015 I attended my 100th conference/seminar/meeting on the topic to explain that the world is now bifurcating into those with Gbit/s fibre in the local loop and those who are sticking with copper. City and community wide FTTH is rolling out in a frenzy of frustration with the incumbent telco copperheads who continue their futile quest to squeeze the last micro-gram out of their 150 year old technologies. Only fibre is green, only fibre is future proof, only fibre is economic, and only fibre can support future business, Cloud Computing, The IoT, Smart Cities, and the 3,4,5G infill needed into the future.
It is all obvious, but here we go again! Will the UK be a world leader or laggard, in the first division, or at the back of the pack? There is a lot at stake. The first to roll out FTTH was BY in 1990, but government ignorance saw the program closed down and since then the GDP has suffered with lost business and the emigration of young start ups. But all that is insignificant compared with what is to come!
The easiest and most sensible route out of the ‘gotcha’ is to let the companies do as they wish, but empower towns and cities to install dark fibre nets, and to provide assistive funding to villages and communities to DIY Fibre. This is happening by default, but it needs to be accelerated by a modest capital investment.
This document discusses policies to foster investment and accelerate deployment of next generation access (NGA) networks. It provides an overview of the very high speed broadband market, broadband policies and local authority intervention in France. It also discusses NGA policies, regulation, and public-private initiatives. The key points are that local authorities have played a crucial role in broadband expansion in France; open wireline backhaul networks are important for handling traffic growth; and a combination of legislative, regulatory, and public policy levers can be used in Europe to encourage NGA investment and competition through infrastructure sharing while addressing economic and operational concerns.
1) A small computer services company investigated opportunities for sub loop unbundling (SLU) in rural areas starting with the smallest county in the UK, Rutland. SLU involves deploying infrastructure to bypass part of BT's local loop network to increase broadband speeds for rural customers.
2) SLU provides opportunities to service rural customers with higher broadband speeds by deploying cabinets and backhaul infrastructure near primary connection points. However, capital costs are highly variable and achieving economies of scale is challenging with low customer densities.
3) An initial trial of SLU in the village of Lyddington, located 5km from the telephone exchange, successfully increased broadband speeds from 0.3Mbps to 12-15Mb

How information systems are built or acquired puts information, which is what they should be about, in a secondary place. Our language adapted accordingly, and we no longer talk about information systems but applications. Applications evolved in a way to break data into diverse fragments, tightly coupled with applications and expensive to integrate. The result is technical debt, which is re-paid by taking even bigger "loans", resulting in an ever-increasing technical debt. Software engineering and procurement practices work in sync with market forces to maintain this trend. This talk demonstrates how natural this situation is. The question is: can something be done to reverse the trend?

Introduction of Cybersecurity with OSS at Code Europe 2024Hiroshi SHIBATA
I develop the Ruby programming language, RubyGems, and Bundler, which are package managers for Ruby. Today, I will introduce how to enhance the security of your application using open-source software (OSS) examples from Ruby and RubyGems.
The first topic is CVE (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures). I have published CVEs many times. But what exactly is a CVE? I'll provide a basic understanding of CVEs and explain how to detect and handle vulnerabilities in OSS.
Next, let's discuss package managers. Package managers play a critical role in the OSS ecosystem. I'll explain how to manage library dependencies in your application.
I'll share insights into how the Ruby and RubyGems core team works to keep our ecosystem safe. By the end of this talk, you'll have a better understanding of how to safeguard your code.

Chris Jones, Director of Product Management at BrainChip , presents the “Temporal Event Neural Networks: A More Efficient Alternative to the Transformer” tutorial at the May 2024 Embedded Vision Summit.
The expansion of AI services necessitates enhanced computational capabilities on edge devices. Temporal Event Neural Networks (TENNs), developed by BrainChip, represent a novel and highly efficient state-space network. TENNs demonstrate exceptional proficiency in handling multi-dimensional streaming data, facilitating advancements in object detection, action recognition, speech enhancement and language model/sequence generation. Through the utilization of polynomial-based continuous convolutions, TENNs streamline models, expedite training processes and significantly diminish memory requirements, achieving notable reductions of up to 50x in parameters and 5,000x in energy consumption compared to prevailing methodologies like transformers.
Integration with BrainChip’s Akida neuromorphic hardware IP further enhances TENNs’ capabilities, enabling the realization of highly capable, portable and passively cooled edge devices. This presentation delves into the technical innovations underlying TENNs, presents real-world benchmarks, and elucidates how this cutting-edge approach is positioned to revolutionize edge AI across diverse applications.

Essentials of Automations: Exploring Attributes & Automation ParametersSafe Software
Building automations in FME Flow can save time, money, and help businesses scale by eliminating data silos and providing data to stakeholders in real-time. One essential component to orchestrating complex automations is the use of attributes & automation parameters (both formerly known as “keys”). In fact, it’s unlikely you’ll ever build an Automation without using these components, but what exactly are they?
Attributes & automation parameters enable the automation author to pass data values from one automation component to the next. During this webinar, our FME Flow Specialists will cover leveraging the three types of these output attributes & parameters in FME Flow: Event, Custom, and Automation. As a bonus, they’ll also be making use of the Split-Merge Block functionality.
You’ll leave this webinar with a better understanding of how to maximize the potential of automations by making use of attributes & automation parameters, with the ultimate goal of setting your enterprise integration workflows up on autopilot.
[OReilly Superstream] Occupy the Space: A grassroots guide to engineering (an...Jason Yip
The typical problem in product engineering is not bad strategy, so much as “no strategy”. This leads to confusion, lack of motivation, and incoherent action. The next time you look for a strategy and find an empty space, instead of waiting for it to be filled, I will show you how to fill it in yourself. If you’re wrong, it forces a correction. If you’re right, it helps create focus. I’ll share how I’ve approached this in the past, both what works and lessons for what didn’t work so well.

2. We are already living in a Digital Britain
We are connected at home and at work and increasingly on the move.
As citizens, we shop online buying books and holidays, we bank, we
pay our rates, we study our ancestry, we renew our passports and
we buy our car tax. The public sector gives us telemedicine, mobile
phone parking tickets and the Oyster card. As businesses we
complete electronic tax returns, we trade online, we operate across
continents, across time zones and along complex supply chains. …
We do all this and many more things beside in our digital world. We
can confidently say we are already living in a Digital Britain.

4. But how much speed do you need?
I haven't got a clue...but fibre can deliver it...
…in April 2009 average broadband speeds in the UK were 4.1Mbit/s,
which was equivalent to 57% of the average advertised headline
speed. … Actual speeds were significantly lower in the peak
evening hours. Average speeds between 8pm and 10pm were
3.7Mbit/s (source: Ofcom, UK broadband speeds 2009:8).
…the first commercial fibre optic connection in April 1977 in Long
Beach California was 6 Mbit/s requiring 2 fibres, one for each way of
communication. … At the moment there are systems commercially
available that allow the usage of 160 colours on a single fibre, giving
a total of 3.2Terabit/s on a single fibre. In laboratories speeds of up
to 25Tbit/s have been reached (source: OECD, Developments in fibre technologies &
investment, Apr08).
The fastest residential broadband offer in the OECD in October 2008
was 1 Gbit/s from the Japanese operator K Opticom
(source: OECD Communications Outlook 2009:107).

7. We don’t move forward by looking backwards
"I think there is a world market for maybe five
computers." (Thomas Watson, chairman of IBM, 1943).
"Computers in the future may weigh no more than
1.5 tons.“ (Popular Mechanics, forecasting the relentless march of
science,1949).
"There is no reason anyone would want a computer in
their home." (Ken Olson, president, chairman & founder of Digital Equipment
Corp., 1977).

8. We don’t move forward by looking backwards
This is a commercial market with quite a lot of players and it obeys
normal economic drivers…[there]…are large pieces of geography,
sparsely inhabited, where broadband roll out will not be achievable in
economic terms at least within 10 and possibly 20 years.

No one knows how much bandwidth we will need in the future
but you can guarantee it will be more than now.

10. End note…
You don’t need to speculate about a Digital
Britain we live there already.
A pilot is not a plan. We should be putting
in place the building blocks of a
Next Generation Digital Britain
The UK needs a fibre manifesto NOW.
