About

When many of us first logged onto the Internet, having a megabit connection seemed impossible. Today, network speeds a thousand times faster are both possible and affordable and broadband networks drive productivity and economic growth. In January, FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski announced the Gigabit City Challenge to have at least one gigabit network in all 50 states by 2015. Currently, there are 13 gigabit city networks in various phases of operation, allowing innovators to develop next-generation applications. How are they using these networks? How will businesses, governments, and schools leverage them to increase job growth, innovation and productivity? What will it take for these local projects to grow and meet the challenge?

Kushnick’s Law states:”A regulated company will always renege on promises to provide public benefits tomorrow in exchange for regulatory and financial benefits today.” In this interview he explains how AT&T’s recently announced plan to spend $14 billion to upgrade its network in exchange for a rescinding of regulation should be approached with skepticism, and how citizens and communities might respond to protect their interests.
