New America Foundation and Free Press Release Joint Analysis of The National Broadband Plan

New America Foundation and Free Press Release Joint Analysis of The National Broadband Plan

Today, the New America Foundation's Open Technology Initiative and Free Press released The National Broadband Plan: Unanswered Questions and Next Steps. While the National Broadband Plan represents vision and an important policy shift for the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), the analysis finds the Plan's goals and policies must be bolder if the U.S. is to close digital divides in rural and urban areas, and allow the U.S. to improve its international broadband ranking.
...
The joint analysis confronts nine key facets of the plan: goals and benchmarks, competition, universal service, adoption, spectrum, infrastructure, transparency, data collection and analysis, and jurisdiction. For each area, The National Broadband Plan: Unanswered Questions and Next Steps provides a three-fold analysis:

  1. Highlights the problems with the current state of broadband deployment and adoption in the United States and compares the goals set in the Plan with those of other industrialized countries.
  2. Summarizes and evaluates the Plan’s recommendations, with a particular emphasis on whether the Plan’s recommendations will enable the Commission to meet its goals.
  3. Recommends next steps for new policy and calls attention to the work that remains if we are to bridge the digital divide at home and abroad.

Click to view the article The fallacy of information overload
Wednesday, 23rd May 2012

A lot of the talk around social media in the last year has been around information overload. Social media has provided us with new and exciting ways to create content. But it has also meant learning new ways to manage and engage with social media tools. Are we teetering on the edge of an information overload precipice?


Click to view the article Information overload: fact, fantasy or filter failure?
Wednesday, 23rd May 2012

Information overload is a figment of your imagination. Or a failure of your filter. Or a symptom of your technological submissiveness. Depends on who you ask.


Click to view the article Newsdesk: tracking millions of pieces of information a day
Tuesday, 22nd May 2012

What if you had to sort through 3.5 million articles and social media posts a day and try to pull out the most relevant items for your organisation? What if you then had to cobble it all together into something readable for your top groups and executives in your organisation?
