  Today Friday November 17th 2017 the Columbia Institute for Tele-Information presents its annual State of Telecom conference. This year’s event, held online, has the theme The Internet’s Next Bottlenecks? Major Platforms, Video Clouds, and the Middle Mile. In the past, improvements in business entry and regulatory policy have lowered a number of market barriers in the telecom and TV industries, enabling competition and access. As this shift has occurred, what bottlenecks are left or have emerged in the new digital environment? This online half day conference will explore the potential or actual disruption by the new content and distribution platforms and their impact on media and technology markets. It will also analyze the various public policy options that have been advocated. The focus will be on real issues that exist and what responses might be. Speakers include representatives of AT&T, Verizon, Facebook, and the FCC. The event will be webcast live via the Internet Society livestream channel.

  WEBCAST TODAY: CITI – The @FCC’s Incentive Auction: Lessons Learned 

  Today Thursday October 12th 2017 at 3:30pm ET the Columbia Institute for Tele-Information presents an online conference The FCC’s Incentive Auction: Lessons Learned.

  Description:

  The Incentive Auction is the most complex spectrum auction ever conducted It successively cleared 84 MHz of TV spectrum and re-allocated 70 MHz for mobile services. However, it also took approximately 4 years to design and bidding last 1 year and 1 day. Repacking of the cleared spectrum will take over 39 months before the spectrum will become fully available for the winning bidders. On the TV side, single entities owned multiple stations in many markets. In addition, the pricing algorithm left many anomalies. On the buy side, only one of the four national mobile operators entered any bids after the first stage, and only of the two smaller operators, with limited low-band holdings ex ante was successful in closing the gap with the stronger rivals.
  This conference addresses how well the auction achieved its policy goals. What may be improved? Should the FCC or other countries try to run two sided auctions again to clear spectrum for re-purposing.

  Speakers include Eli Noam, Paul Garrett Chair in Public Policy and Business Responsibility, Columbia University; David Salant, Visiting Professor, Toulouse School of Economics; Jon Peha, Professor of Electrical Engineering and Public Policy, Carnegie Mellon University; and Greg Rosston, Director of the Public Policy Program, Stanford University. The event will be webcast live on the Internet Society’s Livestream Channel.

  .@EliNoam comments on the #InternetSociety 2017 Global Internet Report #shapetomorrow #thenext25 #icomm2017 

  In 2016, the Internet Society launched a project to take stock of the key forces of change that could impact the future of the Internet. A broad section of the Internet community was engaged via multiple surveys, interviews, and roundtables. The full report ‘Paths to our Digital Future‘ was released on September 18 2017.

  Following the launch, in a global online meetup – InterCommunity 2017 – speaking from regional interactive online nodes, individuals were able to comment on the report’s findings. In NYC, Eli Noam – director of the Columbia Institute for Tele-Information (CITI) was one of those lending their thoughts. Video is below.

  CITI issues “Broadband in America – 2nd Edition” report #broadband 

  As it prepared the 2010 National Broadband Plan the FCC commissioned The Columbia Institute for Tele-Information (CITI) to write a report summarizing the state of broadband development in the USA. The report, entitled Broadband in America was delivered in November 2009. Now, in July 2011 CITI has issued a follow-up – Broadband in America – 2nd Edition. The 176 page document, which includes plenty of meaty research, maps the explosive growth of wireless service in the interim period plus other developments including:

  • Advances in DSL, including ‘bonding’, will lead to speeds of up to 30mbps on copper.
  • AT&T and Verizon aim to provide 50 million homes with 10 Mb/s wire line by 2013.
  • Verizon expects to have 94% of the country covered by LTE – 10-12mbps – by 2013.
  • AT&T, Verizon, and Quest currently have 5.3m FTTH subscribers, but there are another 770 FTTH ISPs collectively serving another 1.9m premises.
  • When AT&T & Verizon finish deploying FIOS & U-Verse they will reach 40% of US households.
  • DOCSIS 3.0 deployment is patchy.
  • Broadband adoption will reach saturation at around 70% in 2014 with a split of 39% cable to 31% telco.
  • 12% of U.S. households still use dial-up and 19% don’t use the Internet at all.
  • Prices for wire line are expected to increase 2%/yr, and wireless up to 4%/yr.
  • Investment runs at about $33b/yr, increasingly on wireless.
  • Less than 50% of backbone capacity is being used.

  

  The latter half of the report is taken up by guest essays, including

  • Sharply contrasting views from Blair Levin and Eli Noam on the wire line vs wireless issue.
  • Raul Katz gives detailed figures on the economic impact of rural broadband.
  • D. Linda Garcia and Tarkan Rosenberg give a history lesson on the role of rural co-operatives in rolling out universal phone service, and then expound on the “diffusion model” as a means of getting through to that last 30% of holdouts.
  • Bruce Lincoln gives a practical blueprint for such a diffusion model with his “Advancing Community Broadband” scheme, involving setting up wi-fi networks, plus telework/telehealth centers, in low-income neighborhoods.
