- Lack of a computer is cited more often than cost as the primary barrier to Internet adoption
- Over half of Ohio residents without broadband believe they don't need it or don't understand the benefits
- 42% of employed Ohio residents work from home currently, with another 24% interested in working from home
The document provides information about telecommunications in Laos, including:
1) Laos has over 2 million mobile subscribers but fixed line penetration is low at under 100,000 lines. Internet usage is also growing but remains low.
2) The National Authority of Posts and Telecommunications regulates the sector and licenses operators while aiming to increase access and competition.
3) The government sees ICT as important for development and has prioritized expanding infrastructure, developing human resources and applying ICT in various sectors. However, ICT in Laos remains at an early stage.
Broadband internet provides high-speed data transmission and has significant benefits for national economic growth. It allows for fast downloads, live streaming, online lectures, and more. Broadband growth is associated with increases in GDP, job creation, productivity, and improved access to services like healthcare and education. The document argues that investing in broadband infrastructure is key to realizing these economic and social benefits, and that Nigeria in particular needs to improve its ICT ecosystem to better position itself for the opportunities provided by broadband connectivity.

The document summarizes OTT services in Laos. It provides background on Laos' country profile and telecommunications infrastructure. Mobile internet access has grown significantly, with over 4 million mobile subscriptions and high 3G coverage. Facebook and WhatsApp are the most popular OTT platforms used daily. A survey found that over half of respondents have used OTT for over 3 years on their smartphones. Respondents viewed OTT positively for business, education and democracy, but over 50% agreed some content like pornography should be regulated. The conclusion recommends supporting a free and open internet along with data protection laws and premium internet packages.
The document summarizes telecenter development initiatives in Laos, including barriers faced. The first project, E-Way, established an internet access center but struggled with high costs and low participation. A subsequent Rural Telecenters Project set up 10 centers across the country, but faced issues with high internet fees and lack of regular content updates. An e-Health Center Project is currently being implemented to provide healthcare information online. The national e-Government Project aims to computerize government offices and establish online services through a centralized infrastructure network. Overall, ICT development in Laos faces challenges of limited skills, resources, and telecommunications infrastructure.
The Lao National E-Government Project aims to develop e-government infrastructure and applications across Lao PDR. It establishes a national e-government network connecting government agencies, provides IT equipment to over 100 organizations, and develops a national e-government portal and applications like e-documents and e-services. However, challenges remain in fully implementing the project due to gaps in telecommunications infrastructure, limited IT skills outside major cities, and lack of motivation and computerization in some agencies.
Video services delivered over mobile broadband data networks are both a dream and a nightmare for network builders. Mobile video is in high demand, and consumers are willing to pay for it. However, poor design and high usage can lead to network congestion, negative user experiences and, ultimately, customer churn. While video is often viewed as a killer application for mobile broadband access, it lacks the requisite linear revenue-to-usage business case that has characterized killer applications such as voice and SMS in the past.
In this webinar, Yankee Group Distinguished Research Fellow Chris Nicoll and Analyst Terry Cudmore investigate the pressing issues of mobile video delivery and provide recommendations to ensure that video becomes a killer application, not a network-killing service.

Internet Access Using Ethernet over PDH Technology for Remote AreaRadita Apriana
There was still is gap among people living in city and in remote area to get information access,
especially who lived in the Eastern part of Indonesia. People living in such remote area usually were
isolated from town by natural condition like rivers, valleys, hills and so on. Therefore, telecommunication
infrastructure for remote area using cooper was not effective and efficient way to build. The issue was how
information and communication technology could penetrate such areas. This research aimed to propose
technology that could be implemented to overcome the difficulties. Ethernet over Plesiochronous Digital
Hierarchy (EoPDH) was one of many techniques that provided Ethernet connectivity over non-Ethernet
networks. EoPDH was a standardized methodology for transporting native Ethernet frames over the
existing established PDH transport technology. To provide last milefor the local people, use of Mesh
Wireless Local Area Network was made and connected to internet gateway via Ethernet over PDH based
microwave radio link. The test showed that The Ethernet frames were successfully transported to remote
area with good quality of service such as throughput, response time, and transaction rate.

1. The document summarizes findings from a 2012 survey on broadband internet access in Minnesota.
2. It finds that while broadband adoption continues to increase, the rate of growth is slowing as the technology reaches saturation levels. Rural adoption lags urban rates but the gap is narrowing.
3. Key factors influencing adoption include age, income, education level, and presence of children in the household. Younger, lower income, and less educated residents are still less likely to have broadband access.
The document summarizes the key findings of a survey conducted by the FCC in October and November 2009 regarding broadband adoption and use in America. Some of the main findings include:
1) Nearly two-thirds (65%) of American adults have broadband internet connections at home, while 6% still use dial-up and 6% are internet users but do not access from home.
2) Broadband adoption varies by income, education, race, disability status and age. Lower-income, less educated, African American, Hispanic, disabled and senior citizens have lower adoption rates.
3) The top three reasons cited by the 35% of Americans who do not have broadband at home are cost (36%), lack of
1) As of 2010, over 68% of households had broadband internet access, while 80% had at least one internet user. Cable and DSL were the most common broadband technologies.
2) Lower income families, minorities, those with disabilities or less education, and rural residents generally had lower rates of broadband adoption and computer use.
3) The top reasons for not having broadband or internet access were lack of need or interest, lack of affordability, and inadequate computers to access the internet.
Rural India has a population of 833 million people, or 69% of India's total population. While only 4.6% of rural Indians, around 38 million people, have accessed the internet at some point, mobile internet use is growing rapidly with 3.6 million rural users accessing the internet via mobile. Entertainment such as music and videos is the most popular online activity.

The New York City Housing Authority submitted a request for information to Google for their planned trial of a gigabit fiber internet network. NYCHA represents over 175,000 low and middle income families living in NYC, but currently only about 40% of households subscribe to broadband internet. They believe that Google's high-speed network could help bridge the digital divide and provide significant benefits to residents by enabling access to economic and educational opportunities online.
