  • Broadband Mapping Across the Us: Local, State, and Federal Methods & Contradictions #Showmeyourmaps
    BROADBAND MAPPING ACROSS THE US: LOCAL, STATE, AND FEDERAL METHODS & CONTRADICTIONS #SHOWMEYOURMAPS MAY 2021 AUTHORS: Francella Ochillo Ryan Johnston Corian Zacher Lukas Pietrzak ABOUT NEXT CENTURY CITIES Next Century Cities (“NCC”) is a nonprofit, non-partisan organization that advocates for fast, affordable, and reliable broadband Internet access across the U.S. We work alongside local officials in communities of all sizes and political stripes to eliminate the digital divide. Communities that have widespread broadband access and adoption are better equipped to help reduce poverty, increase educational opportunities, improve public health, support aging in place, and boost civic engagement. Ensuring that every resident has access to digital opportunities starts with being able to measure the scope of the problem, which depends on accurate broadband data. As NCC has documented in filings and publications, the Federal Communications Commission’s (“FCC” or “Commission”) maps have long told a different story of broadband access than what residents across the country actually experience. It is widely known that the FCC’s broadband availability data understates the seriousness of, and lacks granularity to adequately address, persistent gaps in connectivity. IMPROVING FEDERAL BROADBAND DATA The FCC’s data perpetually overstates broadband availability and could be improved in a variety of ways. For example, collecting information on latency and pricing, as well as adopting more nuanced methods to determine service availability and validate data submitted by providers, would improve the accuracy and efficacy of its broadband maps. Additionally, improving federal data would support state and local mapping initiatives, which largely rely on the Commission’s data as a baseline.

However, time-sensitive multimedia applications, which have become more popular, could suffer from long end-to-end latency in WLANs. This is due mainly to handoff delay, which in turn is caused by channel scan- ning. This paper proposes a technique called Global Path-Cache (GPC) that provides fast handoffs in WLANs. GPC properly captures the dynamic be- havior of the network and MSs, and provides accurate next-AP predictions to minimize the handoff latency. Moreover, the handoff frequencies are treated Weetit Wanalertlak and Ben Lee School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Oregon State University Corvallis, OR, 97331, USA Tel.: 1-541-737-3148 E-mail: {wanalewe,benl}@eecs.orst.edu Chansu

  • Broadband and the Digital Divide
    Legislative Affairs One Whitehall Street New York, NY 10004 212-607-3300 www.nyclu.org Testimony of Allie Bohm On Behalf of the New York Civil Liberties Union Before the New York City Council Committee on Technology and Subcommittee on Zoning and Franchises Regarding Oversight: Broadband and the Digital Divide October 13, 2020 The New York Civil Liberties Union (NYCLU) is grateful for the opportunity to submit the following testimony regarding broadband and the digital divide. The NYCLU, the New York State affiliate of the American Civil Liberties Union, is a not-for-profit, nonpartisan organization with eight offices across the state and over 180,000 members and supporters. The NYCLU defends and promotes the fundamental principles and values embodied in the Bill of Rights, the U.S. Constitution, and the New York Constitution through an integrated program of litigation, legislative advocacy, public education, and community organizing. Due to COVID-19, for the last seven months, New Yorkers have been living much of our lives online. Even as New York City slowly re-opens, many continue to rely on the internet to work, attend school, go to the doctor, seek entertainment, and visit with loved ones. Unfortunately, New Yorkers do not all have access to the high-speed internet that would allow us to participate in a hearing like this. Against this backdrop, the Committee and Subcommittee’s focus on broadband and the digital divide is particularly timely. Digital Redlining Across the five boroughs, between 17 and 20 percent of New Yorkers lack internet access.1 Predictably, the brunt of the digital divide falls on particular communities.

A: The location where all major electronics for the system are housed for a given town. Q: What is topology? A: In a FTTH system, the word “topology” in is most often used with the physical fiber plant or Outside Plant (OSP). Q: What is splice closure or case? A: A fiber management product that protects and houses optical splices. Q: What is a PON? A: A PassiveUnderstanding Optical Network that distributes an optical signal from the CO to the customer. Q: What is Active Ethernet? A: A techniqueGeneral that uses Ethernet Terms (a data communications protocol) as the main transmission method over fiber optics with data rates up to 1 Gb/s. Q: What is meant by G-PON? A: Gigabit PON is a system that handles data rates up to 2.5 Gb/s. Q: What is meant by an OLT, ONT, and splitter? A: OLT - Optical Line Terminal, located in the CO or hut, is the interface to the customer and provides the subscribed services. ONT – Optical Line Terminal, located at the customer/subscribers location, converts the optical media being sent by the OLT. Splitter - A passive device that splits the light source in separate paths. Splice Fiber Cables for FTTx Closure Drop ONT • Single-mode fiber (SMF) is used in a FTTx application • Optical fiber is the transmission component of the ODN Feeder Cables – These cables are the main cable(s) being routed through a populated area.
