Tech Diversity Key To Saving Imperiled Federal Broadband Program: Report
77% Informative
Information Technology & Innovation Foundation : Federal broadband program is financially imperiled by preference for using fiber-optic cables.
ITIF calls on the Trump administration to reform BEAD to stop favoring overly expensive fiber when low- Earth -orbiting ( LEO ) satellites could do the same job for less.
Taking a technology-neutral approach to broadband deployment would save money that could be better spent on other causes of the digital divide, it argued.
Satellite networks claim they can support 100 Mbps downloads and 20 Mbps uploads.
John Strand of Strand Consulting , an advisory firm focusing on global telecom based in Denmark , argued that the NTIA should not have been charged with administering the program.
He contended that BEAD was supposed to be tech-neutral, but NTIA put its thumb on the scale in favor of fiber solutions.
