	Broadband Internet access - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Broadband Internet access became a rapidly developing market in many areas in the early 2000s; one study found that broadband Internet usage in the United States grew from 6% in June 2000 to over 30% in 2003.
		Remote DSL access is becoming a sore point for many rural customers, as the technology has been available for some time now and phone companies keep promoting its availability, but at the same time the phone companies keep dragging their feet and are not doing anything to install the remote services.
		In a government-led initiative to connect the island in a high-speed broadband network using various mediums such as fibre, DSL and cable, the Singapore ONE project was formally announced in June 1996, and commercially launched in June 1998.

	Broadband wireless access - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Three 45 Mbit/s wireless dishes on top of 307 W. 7th Street Fort Worth TX Broadband wireless access is a technology aimed at providing wireless access to data networks, with high data rates.
		From the point of view of connectivity, broadband wireless access is equivalent to broadband wired access, such as ADSL or cable modems.
		One particular broadband wireless access technology is being standardized by IEEE 802.16 (WiMAX).

	Public Broadband Access
		Broadband policies are seen as an important part of overall governmental socio-economic policies.
		The argument for public policies on broadband access is many and clearly supported through an assortment of governmental and educational studies.
		One Economy is preparing to launch a two-year, nationwide campaign with city and state public housing authorities, encouraging them to enact policies that either mandate broadband access or, as in Nebraska, promote it through the Low Income Housing Tax Credits program.

	FCC Strategic Goals: Broadband
		Broadband technologies, which encompass all evolving high-speed digital technologies that provide consumers integrated access to voice, high-speed data, video-on-demand, and interactive delivery services, are a fundamental component of the communications revolution.
		All will benefit as broadband’s technologies are developed and deployed.
		Harmonize regulation of competing broadband services that are provided via different technologies and network architectures.

		While broadband access will be important for the evolution of the Net and of competition for local access communications services, it is unclear how many broadband providers can survive in each market, and how vigorously they will compete if there are only two.
		Broadband is far from universal As we have already seen from Table 1, only 43% of the population in the US lives in counties that have at least one system offering cable modems.
		While we believe broadband access will be very important and widespread, there is still quite a bit of research that needs to be done to understand how competition for these services will evolve and to identify the best policies for promoting the continued development of the Internet.

	Universal Broadband Access
		At first, intenet access from home was usually made through using telephone modems that work at low speed (at a maximum of 56 kbps).
		Thus, one would guess that the broadband user can afford to spend more time (note: there is usually no restriction on broadband access time) and they can more readily engage in activities that require high-speed access (such as watching television on the world wide web).
		Kerry is expected to advocate a universal access fee on households in heavily populated area that would be used to subsidize rural expansion of a more heavily regulated broadband market.

		Because of broadband’s increasing popularity, this report focuses on the growth of home broadband usage and the ways in which broadband users differ from dial-up users.
		As shown in Table 3, broadband connections at home are less prevalent in rural America (24.7 percent) than in urban areas (40.4 percent), particularly in central cities (40.9 percent).
		The difficulty that residents of rural areas face in obtaining broadband is illustrated in the reasons that dial-up households give for not having moved to higher-speed service.

	Broadband Backgrounder: Public Policy Issues Raised by Broadband Technology
		With its Broadband Access Project, CDT seeks to ensure that the characteristics of the narrowband Internet that were so critical in Reno, and the legal principles that came out of that case, continue to thrive as the Internet moves into the broadband world.
		Broadband access to the World Wide Web offers a much more efficient and enjoyable experience, and can deliver far more audio and video content than would be efficient with a narrowband, dial-up connection.
		The key broadband issues that specifically relate to Internet access over cable systems are rooted in the broad policy question of whether cable-based Internet access should be treated similar to cable television service (which has been largely unregulated) or similar to telephone service (which has been subject to significant regulation).
