It also seeks to reallocate funds to expand broadband access, auction broadcast spectrum to wireless providers to increase capacity, and promote competition to improve networks and lower costs. The plan creates a roadmap for public-private partnerships to connect all Americans to fast, affordable broadband over the next decade.
The document compares internet usage, telephone usage, and broadcasting infrastructure across multiple countries. It shows that countries like the UK have much higher internet usage and more developed telephone and broadcasting systems, while countries like the Central African Republic have far fewer internet users, landlines, and developed infrastructure. The digital divide between developed and developing nations remains massive due to economic, social, educational, and geographical factors that make it difficult for many developing regions to gain access to and experience with new technologies.
RURAL BROADBAND – from Digital Divide to Digital DividendUntil ROI
The document discusses strategies for increasing broadband access in rural India by 2014. It proposes a vision of connecting 30 times as many users by expanding broadband to 170 million homes, 34 million businesses, and 10.5 million public access points. This would connect 695 million total users. It recommends investing in fiber optic and wireless infrastructure, promoting demand through education, healthcare, agriculture and governance initiatives, and addressing issues like electricity and spectrum availability that currently limit rural broadband access.

Dandelion Hashtable: beyond billion requests per second on a commodity serverAntonios Katsarakis
This slide deck presents DLHT, a concurrent in-memory hashtable. Despite efforts to optimize hashtables, that go as far as sacrificing core functionality, state-of-the-art designs still incur multiple memory accesses per request and block request processing in three cases. First, most hashtables block while waiting for data to be retrieved from memory. Second, open-addressing designs, which represent the current state-of-the-art, either cannot free index slots on deletes or must block all requests to do so. Third, index resizes block every request until all objects are copied to the new index. Defying folklore wisdom, DLHT forgoes open-addressing and adopts a fully-featured and memory-aware closed-addressing design based on bounded cache-line-chaining. This design offers lock-free index operations and deletes that free slots instantly, (2) completes most requests with a single memory access, (3) utilizes software prefetching to hide memory latencies, and (4) employs a novel non-blocking and parallel resizing. In a commodity server and a memory-resident workload, DLHT surpasses 1.6B requests per second and provides 3.5x (12x) the throughput of the state-of-the-art closed-addressing (open-addressing) resizable hashtable on Gets (Deletes).
