Building a Broadband Strategy and BroadbandCensus.com
Tomorrow is the 2008 Politics Online Conference, and I’m prepping for the event by guest-blogging over at the Institute for Politics, Democracy and the Internet. The panel I’ll be moderating is called “Building a Broadband Strategy for America,” and you can read more about it at the Politics Online site.
I’ve blogged about this panel on this site previously, so I won’t recount that, other than to repeat that I’ll be joined by FCC Commissioner Jonathan Adelstein, by Professor Tim Wu, who coined the term “Net Neutrality,” and by Eric Werner, a senior official at the National Telecommunications and Information Administration of the Commerce Department.
On the IPDI blog, I address how BroadbandCensus.com plays into the National Broadband Strategy debate:
As a technology reporter, I’ve been writing about the battles over broadband for nearly a decade here in Washington. There is one fact about which nearly everyone seems to be in agreement: if America wants better broadband, America need better broadband data. That’s why I’ve recently started a new venture to collect this broadband data, and to make the data available for all on the Web at BroadbandCensus.com.
