2 QITCOM 2012 - Stagg Newman (Next Gen Broadband)QITCOM
The National Broadband Plan aimed to encourage private investment and innovation to expand broadband access across the US (except for subsidies for rural areas). It identified several gaps in 2010 including 14 million Americans lacking broadband infrastructure access, 93 million lacking broadband adoption at home, and gaps in using broadband for national purposes like health and energy. Several policy gaps were also hampering innovation, investment, and competition in areas like need for more spectrum, lack of data to inform competition, and inconsistent wholesale regulations. Trends showed a looming spectrum gap that wireless broadband could help address if spectrum policy was transformed.
The document discusses IPv6 adoption and some challenges around educating broadband users. Key points:
- A major event saw over 3,000 websites support IPv6 permanently, but it still only accounts for 0.1% of traffic.
- Last mile providers have been criticized for their lack of IPv6 readiness, as they bear the cost of running both IPv4 and IPv6 networks but can't pass those costs to consumers.
- There is a challenge in getting customers to upgrade equipment like home gateways to support IPv6 when their current devices work fine for IPv4.
- The Internet Society Hong Kong has launched an education campaign to explain IPv6 to consumers and encourage enabling it, though it does

This document discusses ITU and its Regional Initiative for Europe on e-Accessibility. ITU is the UN agency for ICTs that works to connect the world. It has 193 member states and focuses on radiocommunications, standardization, and development. Its 2020 target is for accessible ICT environments in all countries. The Regional Initiative for Europe aims to promote e-accessibility and provide solutions to member states, including strategic plans, deployment of accessible technologies, and capacity building. ITU's Academy supports training and the Regional Initiative through modules on accessibility policies and creating closed captions for broadcasters. ITU also encourages academic participation through its study groups, publications, and conferences.
This document summarizes progress made in implementing Action Line C2 of the WSIS, which focuses on information and communication infrastructure. Some key points:
- Access to ICTs has improved due to wireless technology, though coverage gaps remain in developing areas. Many countries have universal service programs to extend coverage.
- Convergence of voice, data and video onto IP networks is placing increasing strain on network infrastructure as more content is accessed via smartphones and tablets.
- International standards help create a level playing field and reduce costs. The ITU has developed standards to support emerging technologies.
- Broadband access and national broadband plans have significant economic and social impacts, but deployment challenges remain in rural areas.
This document provides a summary of a technical report about mapping wireless trends and drivers in Europe. It conducted research on alternative wireless technologies (AWTs) to understand their usage trends, diffusion drivers, and how the regulatory environment will affect their evolution. The report mapped various AWTs, examined how safety/security and mobile virtual communities could support them, and provided policy recommendations for European Union member states. Key findings included identifying and mapping different wireless technologies, and analyzing how they may disrupt existing cellular networks but also create new growth opportunities.
The document is the World Telecommunication/ICT Development Report 2010, which focuses on monitoring progress towards the 10 targets set at the World Summit on the Information Society in 2005. The report assesses achievements to date and what remains to be done to achieve the targets by 2015. It highlights major progress in connecting people through mobile technologies, with near global cellular coverage and over 5 billion subscriptions by 2010. However, it notes that substantial efforts are still needed, as only around 25% of the world's population uses the internet, and broadband penetration outside developed nations remains low at around 3.5%. The report provides a comprehensive, data-driven review of progress towards achieving the WSIS targets and proposes quantitative indicators to measure them.
The document discusses the outlook for 5G networks based on a conference called PIMRC'2013. It notes that major mobile operators and vendors see a need for consistent high data speeds across networks, more agile network evolution, and intelligent handling of unpredictable user loads. The vision for 5G is described as providing 1000 times more capacity than current networks through seamless integration of technologies like LTE, WiFi, and 5G. Regulatory bodies and researchers are investing in 5G to enable continuous high-speed internet access by 2020 through network redundancy and multi-access integration. Key challenges for 5G include achieving its technical goals at scale across infrastructure.

This document provides a summary and mid-term review of progress toward achieving the 10 targets set at the 2005 World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS). It was produced through collaboration between the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) and other international organizations like UNESCO, WHO, and UNDESA. The report finds that while connectivity has expanded rapidly through mobile networks, reaching almost 5 billion subscriptions globally, broadband access remains limited, with only a quarter of people online. It also reports that targets for connecting schools, health centers, and government offices have only been partially met. The document aims to help policymakers evaluate achievements so far and identify remaining gaps to work towards fully realizing the WSIS targets by 2015.
The report explores how broadband can be universalized by examining trends like mobile growth, the benefits of broadband for development, progress towards connectivity targets, strategies for the last mile, and generating demand through content. It finds that while progress has been made in policies and household access, targets for usage and affordability may not be met by 2015, and examines mechanisms like universal service funds and technologies like satellite that can help connect remaining populations. The report ultimately concludes that partnerships between governments, industry and other stakeholders are needed, and that a mix of supply-side and demand-side policies tailored to each country are most effective for achieving universal broadband.
