This document analyzes factors that affect the digitization of cable TV services using data from 16 Asia Pacific countries. It finds that higher cable TV penetration rates and switching costs reduce digitization, while increased penetration of substitute services like DBS increases digitization. It recommends policies to promote substitute services or deploy newer cable technologies to reduce analog expansion and subsidies to lower switching costs to spur digital adoption. Governments should consider rate deregulation if substitute services are limited and public funds are unavailable.

W9 technology and the ageing society - hazel price
Kent has implemented telecare and telehealth programs since 2004. Over 1,100 users participated in telecare, which helped 93% feel more independent and safer at home. A telehealth pilot from 2005-2007 provided monitors to 250 older adults and found it reduced hospital visits, saved an average of ยฃ1,878 per patient over six months, and could potentially save ยฃ7,560,000-ยฃ10,942,000 annually for long term condition management in Kent. Mainstreaming assistive technologies faces challenges of making it a core service, equitable access, and changing commissioning practices to support assistive technology. The vision is for a shared 'platform' to facilitate wider use of technologies across users.

Public Radio Tech Survey
This document summarizes the results of the first annual Public Radio Tech Survey, which aimed to understand technology adoption and new media usage among public radio listeners. The survey received over 30,000 responses from listeners of 70 public radio stations across various markets and formats. Key findings include that public radio listeners are very loyal to their stations but that there are differences between younger and older listeners. It also found that while iPods and podcasts provide opportunities, satellite radio and HD radio both face challenges, and increased cell phone usage provides potential but also fragmentation. The survey helps provide a picture of how technology is impacting traditional media consumption.

Output Based Incentives for Urban Sanitation - WSP 21nov11
The document discusses output-based incentives (OBI) for sanitation services to urban poor households. OBIs are targeted, performance-based payments made to service providers after independently verified outputs are delivered to bridge the gap between what users can afford and the cost to the provider. The document outlines challenges with traditional subsidy approaches and how OBI differs by reimbursing providers after outputs like connections or facilities are provided. It provides examples of potential OBI along the sanitation value chain from demand creation to reuse. Challenges and solutions are discussed, like measuring outputs. The key messages are that business as usual will not improve sanitation outcomes and OBI provides an innovative targeted approach to financing based on results.

- Lower-income school-age children are less likely than higher-income peers to have high-speed internet access at home and may rely on mobile wireless or public Wi-Fi to do homework, but these alternative methods pose challenges.
- Selected school districts have taken varied approaches to expanding wireless internet access for underconnected students, such as providing Wi-Fi on school buses, but federal E-rate program rules limit the use of funds for off-premises access.
- The FCC conducted a pilot project on off-premises access but did not fully assess the potential costs and benefits of making it eligible for E-rate support, which could help inform policy and address the "homework gap."

Eligible schools and libraries apply individually or as consortia and follow steps including determining eligibility, preparing a technology plan, opening bidding, selecting providers, and receiving funding to begin services. The program aims to ensure affordable access to telecom and information services for educational purposes.
Schools & libraries program of the universal service
The E-Rate program provides discounts on telecommunications and internet access for schools and libraries. It was established by Congress in 1996 to make these services more affordable. Schools may receive discounts from 20-90% on internet access and wiring, based on the income levels of their students and whether they are in a rural or urban area. To qualify, schools must develop a technology plan with goals such as providing professional development, equal access to technology, and using technology to promote learning and parental involvement. The costs are paid by telecommunications providers through contributions to the Universal Service Fund, which may be passed onto consumers through bills.
