	Broadband Internet access - Open Encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Broadband Internet access, often shortened to "broadband Internet" or just "broadband", is a high data transmission rate Internet connection.
		Broadband is often called high-speed Internet, because it has a high data transmission rate, but the actual transmission speed may be relatively slow depending on the method used.
		The typical broadband connection to date, whether cable or xDSL, is configured by the ISP to run at bit rates from 350-500 kbit/s.

	Broadband open access - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Broadband open access is an issue of policy debate in telecommunications, regarding whether or not companies which own broadband telecommunication infrastructure (such as cable operators) should be required to provide access to their facilities for competing businesses which do not own physical infrastructure.
		In the United States, cable operators were not required to provide access to their facilities to other competing businesses.
		To make matters worse, the cable operators were the leading camp although local telephone carriers were burdened by the open-access obligation.

	Media Access Project
		The phone network has historically been open in two senses: phone customers are permitted to access any Internet service provider of their choosing, and those customers are permitted to attach their own equipment to the phone line, allowing them to use modems to transform their phone lines into their own information superhighways.
		Media Access Project filed a brief on behalf of Amici Curiae Virginia Citizens Consumer Council, Consumer Federation of America, and Center for Media Education in the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit.
		MAP and its colleague organizations filed at the Commission requesting it consolidate the AT&T/MediaOne merger proceeding with the AOL/Time Warner merger proceeding because the issues overlapped and open access should not be considered in isolation in each case.

		Open Access is the principle that has governed the Internet since its inception.
		For without open access, the rules of Internet commerce and communications will be determined by the telecom giants, rather than the public.
		However, the same concerns that consumer groups have regarding Open Access also apply to ITV, which is expected to be in nearly 40 million US households by 2004.

		The open access principles that have emerged in the course of the broadband debates thus far have stressed the need to level the playing field, to ensure that no single interest (or association of interests) wields too much power in the operation of a given network.
		In the private sector, the Center for Democracy and Technology has produced a "Broadband Open Access Metrics Checklist" as a means of assessing the degree of openness of a given broadband network, from the perspective of Internet users and service providers alike.
		But that is precisely what most proponents of open access demand: a requirement that network owners negotiate all relevant prices, terms, and conditions under the single constraint that these prices, terms, and conditions shall be no worse than those the cable operator offers itself, its affiliates, or any other party.

	Open Access Protest at the FCC -- July 27, 2000
		Access to information without the need to see a network operator's proprietary content (the so-called "single click" requirement), allowing the user to navigate the Internet without necessarily passing through the network owner's portal.
		Access to all content and services, allowing the user to filter content or to use or not use any Internet-related applications if he or she chooses, but not imposing any filtering or blocking schemes from above.
		Open access, contrary to cable industry claims, does not imply a "free ride" on cable networks, but rather guarantees broadband network interconnections to independent ISPs on the same prices, terms, and conditions that the network owner extends to its affiliated ISP.

	In Brief: Tangled Web: The Internet and Broadband Open Access Policy
		With the emergence of "broadband" Internet access technology, many users can now connect to the Internet at higher speeds, enabling them to send and receive a range of new and enhanced voice, video, and data services.
		The potential benefits of moving from low-speed narrowband to high-speed broadband, however, may not be fully realized if the owners of broadband Internet access networks are able to exercise control over Internet content and stifle competition in the Internet service marketplace.
		Nondiscriminatory Access - Discriminatory ISP behavior is much less likely in an open access environment, where customers have the ability to fire their ISP and choose a new one.

		In many respects, the debate between competitors' access to DSL and cable modem facilities shows the concerns over regulatory asymmetry and the semantics involved around service definitions and long-standing jurisprudential models and FCC policies that apply to different media.
		The Cable Modem NOI was necessitated by a number of court cases that ruled upon access provisions as well as the concerns raised during the AOL-Time Warner merger.
		In addition, the article discusses the relevant litigation that resulted within the open access debate and provides a summary of DSL and cable modem technology.

		Second, we believe “broadband services should exist in a minimal regulatory environment that promotes investment and innovation in a competitive market.” 16 In this regard, we seek to remove regulatory uncertainty that in itself may discourage investment and innovation.
		Third, in this proceeding, as well as in a related proceeding concerning broadband access to the Internet over domestic wireline facilities, 17 we seek to create a rational framework for the regulation of competing services that are provided via different technologies and network architectures.
		However, because cable broadband network capacity is shared among users and because of hardware limitations, an individual cable modem subscriber may generally experience speeds from 500 Kbps to 1.5 Mbps -- depending on the specific network architecture and traffic load.

		Currently cable broadband is not subject to open access; phone DSL services are.
		But it's unclear if he would comply, because Justice is concerned that classifying broadband as an information service would make it tougher to force cable firms to design their networks to be easily wiretapped.

		In this instance, it appears that you personally hand-picked a half-dozen individuals or entities and asked them to develop a means for providing consumers with cable open access.
		Whatever your hesitation to commence such an open and public process might have been before December 6th, surely ATandT’s abandonment of the technology argument requires a fresh examination of your premises.

		Differentiated Service: The broadband environment will be characterized by tiered levels of service, subscription and pay-per-click programming, and a general distinction between the "haves" and the "have mores." In this context, without the kind of allowances that it has received in the analog world (e.g., spectrum set-asides, e-rate subsidies) the nonprofit sector will suffer.
		But another part of the broadband Internet problem (and the part that may prove insurmountable, absent regulation) is purely economic.
		While it remains to be seen how the wireless and satellite broadband networks will be deployed, the world of DSL, only marginally more competitive than cable in its accommodation of competitive ISPs, poses many of the same risks as cable to the future openness and diversity of the Internet.
