  • 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.

  • 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.

David Bowie’s urban landscapes and nightscapes: A reading of the Bowiean text 1 David Bowie’s urban landscapes and nightscapes: A reading of the Bowiean text Jean Du Verger “The Word is devided into units which be all in one piece and should be so taken, but the pieces can be had in any order being tied up back and forth, in and out fore and aft like an innaresting sex arrangement. This book spill off the page in all directions, kaleidoscope of vistas, medley of tunes and street noises […]” William Burroughs, The Naked Lunch, 1959. Introduction 1 The urban landscape occupies a specific position in Bowie’s works. His lyrics are fraught with references to “city landscape[s]”5 and urban nightscapes. The metropolis provides not only the object of a diegetic and spectatorial gaze but it also enables the author to further a discourse on his own inner fragmented self as the nexus, lyrics— music—city, offers an extremely rich avenue for investigating and addressing key issues such as alienation, loneliness, nostalgia and death in a postmodern cultural context.
