Study: U.S. Cities Pay More Money For Less Broadband

by Karl Bode 09:40AM Monday Oct 28 2013 DSLReports

 

A new study by the New America Foundation has found that United States fixed and wireless urban broadband customers pay significantly more for less bandwidth than their overseas counterparts. The report compared fixed and wireless broadband pricing in most of the largest United States cities to international cities such as London, Berlin, Bucharest and Zurich.

Though the United States is ranked near the bottom on price in most categories (with little to no movement year to year), the comparisons are particularly stark when it comes to triple play pricing, with no United States city even in the rankings until Bristol, Virginia shows up at 32.

"....In larger US cities, we continue to observe higher prices for slower speeds," notes the study. "In the US for example, the best deal for a 150Mbps home broadband connection from cable and phone companies is $130/month, offered by Verizon FiOS in limited parts of New York City. By contrast, the international cities we surveyed offer comparable speeds for $77 or less per month, with most coming in at about $50/month."

Things don't get much prettier when it comes to wireless pricing, notes the report.

"When it comes to mobile broadband, the cheapest price for around 2GB of data in the US ($30/month from T-Mobile) is twice as much as what users in London pay ($15/month from T-Mobile). It costs more to purchase 2GB of data in a US city than it does in any of the cities surveyed in Europe."

The report's solution shouldn't be surprising if you've been paying attention (or if you recall Google is a major funder).

"Rather than allowing American cities to fall behind, policymakers should reassess current policy approaches and implement strategies to increase competition, in turn fostering faster speeds and more affordable access."

S.F.’s tech community needs to support our schools

by Matt Haney San Francisco Examiner



Geri Lavrov/Getty Images

Skyrocketing rents. Google buses. New restaurants on every corner. There is an impassioned conversation happening in San Francisco about the latest tech boom and the deep impact it is having on the fabric and character of our city. It is a hot topic in newspapers and blogs, and San Franciscans are debating it at coffee shops, parks and dinner tables.

In all of this, one question has been conspicuously absent: What does the tech boom mean for our city’s schools? And what should we ask the tech community to do to support the next generation of San Franciscans?

As the only millennial on the San Francisco school board, I have a unique perspective. Googlers and Facebookers are my peers and friends. I believe there is an important place for them in San Francisco, and that they are here to stay. I also know that in order to build 21st-century schools and an inclusive, prosperous San Francisco, we need their help.

It is critical that we open up opportunities for all of our children to benefit from our city’s economic, cultural, and social dynamism and innovation. Far too many of our young people, particularly those in the most disadvantaged parts of our city, are increasingly unable to access the experiences and skills to stay and thrive here as adults.

Building innovative technology companies in San Francisco is admirable and a valuable contribution to our city’s economy and culture, but their presence alone is not charity. Living in a city with new startups popping up every day and tens of thousands of tech company employees has to mean something more for our kids than higher rent, fancy coffee shops and Muni delays.

There are concrete, positive actions that our tech community can take right now to help restore San Francisco’s social contract with our children and families. No student in San Francisco schools should be without a mentor, a paid internship, or access to training in coding and computer engineering. Tech companies should work with The City to establish a local-hire pipeline to recruit, develop and hire San Francisco residents. Our public schools should be hotbeds of innovation where students and teachers — at every grade level — are equipped with the latest technology and know how to use it.

Amping up the positives of a tech presence for our schools is essential, but it does not diminish the need for a serious conversation to address gentrification and affordability. The consequences of a rapidly ballooning tech sector are real, especially for children — when families are displaced or have trouble affording food or rent, there is a huge impact on students and their academic success. In fact, it is these very costs that create a heightened responsibility on the part of tech companies to our city’s kids and families.

The incentive is there for both sides: Working closely with our city’s tech sector to support our youths will break down barriers, leading to greater mutual understanding, local talent pipelines and stronger, more equitable communities.

There are already great examples of the tech community’s contributions to building 21st-century schools — Salesforce.com, Zynga, sf.citi, the Sara & Evan Williams Foundation and others have come forward to support our schools. Just this week, Mayor Ed Lee, the San Francisco Unified School District and Salesforce launched a Middle School Leadership Initiative, a comprehensive approach to transforming the middle school experience for our students including full integration of digital content and iPad technology. Building on these efforts, we need a policy-based, coordinated movement, embraced by public officials and leaders in the tech community to expand upon these promising beginnings.

It’s time to broaden public dialogue across San Francisco about what our residents expect of our tech community — not only how to address the serious challenges, but also how to build on the latest San Francisco tech expansion and create opportunities for our children, our families and our schools.

IT giants back project to slash Internet costs worldwide

Computerworld UK

Google, Microsoft, Cisco and Yahoo head coalition wants to ensure broadband access costs less than 5 percent of monthly incomes

By Zach Miners | IDG News Service | Published 10:40, 08 October 13

Google, Microsoft, Cisco and Yahoo have helped found the Alliance for Affordable Internet, or A4AI, a global coalition backed by Web inventor Tim Berners-Lee that hopes to dramatically cut the cost of Internet access.

Households in developing countries pay roughly a third of their monthly income for a fixed Internet connection, according to figures from the International Telecommunication Union.
"The reason for the Alliance is simple -- the majority of the world's people are still not online, usually because they can't afford to be," Berners-Lee said in a statement.

A4AI has a specific goal: to make broadband service cost less than 5 percent of average monthly income.

It hopes to do that by promoting a set of policy and regulatory best practices, like allowing spectrum to be used in new ways, banning excessive tariffs on telecom equipment and ensuring competition.
In addtion to IT companies, A4AI is backed by UK Aid, US Aid and the Omidyar Network, an investment firm.

Bringing the Internet to developing countries isn't a new idea. Google already has "Project Loon," which aims to connect people in rural areas using a network of hot air balloons, and it wants to bring broadband to Africa via unused TV broadcast channels.

Only 16 percent of people in Africa use the Internet today, according to the ITU -- half the penetration seen in Asia and the Pacific.

The group will begin its work in two or three countries this year -- it didn't say which ones -- expanding to at least 10 countries by the end of 2015. It will also produce an annual affordability report, with the first edition due in December.

Governor signs bills to expand broadband in California

By Rachelle Chong posted on October 4, 2013 Techwire

Broadband advocates are celebrating after Gov. Jerry Brown yesterday signed two bills — Senate Bill (SB) 740 (Padilla-D, Pacoima) and Assembly Bill (AB) 1299 (Bradford–D, Gardena) — that will bring more broadband access to rural Californians and disadvantaged communities. SB 740 overcame opposition from the California Cable & Telecommunications Association, but ultimately, cable reached agreement with the author on amendments and withdrew its opposition when the bill was pending in the Assembly.

SB 740 will modify the California Advanced Services Fund (CASF) eligibility requirements to let the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) award funding to entities such as the Wireless Internet Service providers or other advanced technologies, and add $90 million in funds from telecom ratepayer intrastate surcharges in 2015-2020 to the CASF program for additional broadband projects in areas with no broadband service or slow broadband service (below 6 megabits per second download speed and 1.5 Mbps upload speed). AB 1299 authorizes the CPUC to award up to $25 million in CASF grants for deployment and adoption of broadband services in publicly-supported housing communities and to promote broadband development in disadvantaged communities. The CASF was established by the CPUC in 2006, and codified law by the State Legislature the next year, to bring broadband access to all of California.

“This new law continues the state’s critical investment in our digital infrastructure so that every Californian has access to broadband,” said Senator Alex Padilla, the author of SB 740, praising the governor’s signature in a written statement. “High-speed Internet service is a vital aspect of modern life – everything from communicating with friends and family to access to jobs, education, health care, public safety, government services, and commerce are facilitated by broadband connections. . . [B]roadband is a key component for economic opportunity for both individuals and communities.”

“As the 21st century economy moves online, our society is increasingly defined by those who have access to the technology and services that define modern life, and those who don’t,” said Assembly member Steven Bradford in a written statement. “The future of our economy rests on broadband and other technology infrastructure. We cannot let certain unserved and underserved communities fall behind the rest when it comes to this critical resource. I am pleased that the Governor understands the value of helping our citizens climb out of the digital shadows.”

The CPUC, who had made the initial recommendation to Senator Padilla’s office for the main program changes contained in SB740, praised the Governor’s support of the bills.

“We are pleased at the signing of these bills, as they extend broadband infrastructure where it’s needed the most to increase economic growth, employment, jobs and social benefits,” commented Ryan Dulin, the CPUC’s Communications Division director. He said it is the goal of the CPUC to promote “ubiquitous availability of advanced communications services to all Californians and not just in urban areas. “

“We are thrilled that California leaders understand how critical it is to close the Digital Divide in California to keep our state globally competitive and offer all residents access to educational and employment opportunities by being connected to the Internet,” said President and CEO Sunne Wright McPeak, of the California Emerging Technology Fund. “We now will have the resources to continue to get more Californians connected to affordable, reliable broadband, and be able to expand the Smart Housing Initiative statewide to connect more of California’s 200,000 public housing units to the Internet.”

Rural broadband community leaders were also effusive in praise for SB740, which stands to benefit rural areas in particular. While disappointed that the additional CASF funding from 2015-2020 was reduced from $125 million in the original version of SB 740 to $90 million during the bill’s passage through the state Senate and Assembly, they were pleased to have the bill pass given the early opposition by entrenched broadband interests.

“Mendocino Coast Broadband Alliance is thrilled and greatly relieved that these two bills were signed into law,” said Shirley Freriks, a leader of MCBA. “Those on dial-up [access] in Mendocino rural areas cannot even access a web site these days without waiting 30 minutes or more. . . These bills will allow all students to work from home on their computers and have equal rights with other students who have internet access. Connectivity is assumed in the educational system but most rural kids cannot participate.”

Freriks added that with broadband, small businesses, entrepreneurs, medical applications, and the tourist businesses will be able to flourish in places like Mendocino, where 80% of the businesses are small, and in Fort Bragg where local resource-based industries have disappeared. She added that Broadband Alliance of Mendocino County has a grant request in to the CPUC now that would bring fast Internet to unserved and underserved areas in 16 counties.

A 2012 Akamai report on broadband speeds shows California ranked 16th in the nation.

Los Angeles public housing residents to receive digital literacy training, low-cost computers and WiFi access

By Amy Stewart posted on August 1, 2013 Techwire

The California Emerging Technology Fund (CETF) is investing $300,000 with the Housing Authority of the City of Los Angeles (HACLA) and non-profit organizations to develop a model to connect Los Angeles public housing residents to WiFi, provide bilingual digital literacy training and offer low-cost computers to residents, according to a press release.

The program, called the Smart Housing Pilot Partnership, will attempt to lower the digital divide among low-income Californians in Los Angeles public housing. Four in ten Latinos, households earning less than $40,000 per year and people with disabilities do not have broadband at home, according to the Public Policy Institute of California.

“There is ample evidence that broadband empowers people and transforms lives in compelling ways,” said Sunne Wright McPeak, president and CEO of CETF in the announcement. “In 21st Century California, it’s simply not acceptable that so many public housing communities still do not have broadband network, and we urge our state leaders to act to change that.”

CETF and HACLA, as well as other advocates for public housing, are supporting pending legislation SB 740 and AB 1299, which have goals of providing broadband access to 98 percent of California households by Dec. 31, 2015, and to establish the Broadband Public Housing Account within the California Advanced Services Fund to allow $25 million to be available for grants and loans to public housing communities to install broadband and provide computer skills training to residents.

The Smart Housing Pilot Partnership will implement full services at two Los Angeles public housing locations: Mar Vista Gardens, a 600-unit complex which will provide free Internet access, bilingual computer skills training and low-cost computers and laptops; and Jordan Downs, which will receive computer skills training and devices.

“The way we teach our children, conduct business at work, and communicate with each other is undeniably connected with having access to the Internet,” said Douglas Guthrie, President and CEO of HACLA. “We must ensure that everyone has an equal opportunity to benefit from these tools.”

Google Donates $600,000 to Build a Free Public WiFi System in 31 San Francisco Parks

By Rachelle Chong posted on July 24, 2013 Techwire

Today, through a deal brokered by San Francisco Supervisor Mark Ferrell, Google announced that it will donate $600,000 to bring free wireless service to the public in 31 San Francisco parks, recreational centers and plazas. This free WiFi service in the City’s parks will enhance park users’ ability to obtain government benefits and services and other information available from the Internet from wireless devices like laptops, tablets, and smartphones.

The Google donation will be made to the San Francisco Citizens Initiative for Technology and Innovation (sf.citi), a 501(c)6 non-profit group headed by Ron Conway. Sf.citi’s members are tech companies who wish to leverage the power of the technology community around civic action. The proposal is that sf.citi will contract with wireless company iNet to install the necessary WiFi equipment using municipally-owned infrastructure, fiber, and right-of-ways, and then present the finished system to the Department of Technology of the City and County of San Francisco as a gift. Approvals are required by the Recreation and Parks Commission, the Planning Department, and the Board of Supervisors. The system is hoped to be initiated by year’s end and operating by Spring 2014.

In a statement, Google’s spokesperson, Veronica Bell, said that Google was hopeful the city and local groups will use the free WiFi to bridge the digital divide and strengthen their community. The Google donation will cover the costs of the equipment, installation and maintenance for two years. It is presumed that the city will foot the maintenance costs thereafter.

San Francisco Mayor Ed Lee praised the initiative as a great example of public-private partnerships that help bring better services to his city’s residents in the 21st century. Mayor Lee is a friend of the tech industry in San Francisco, placing a strong focus on making the city friendly to tech companies, workers and users.

Supervisor Farrell was quick to emphasize that the chosen 31 parks and plazas span the city including Chinatown and the Tenderloin and are focused on public spaces that get the most use. He further stated that the Google money was strictly a gift, with no strings attached.

This year, the San Francisco Department of Technology is also working on a free wireless network along Market Street that would be installed and operated by it. This will enhance the City’s work to revitalize this area with tech start-ups.

Free WiFi hotspots help close the digital divide for low income and homeless persons, who may not otherwise be able to afford Internet access but own a wireless device, such as a smart phone or tablet device. This access in public spaces also takes a load off community centers and libraries that provide free Internet access and computers to the public, but are stressed by budget shortfalls.

This news is no doubt welcomed by former San Francisco Mayor and now Lieutenant Governor Gavin Newsom, who originally worked with Earthlink and Google six years ago to bring a free public wireless system to San Francisco. Later Earthlink withdrew from the deal, amid much public controversy.

"It's important Microsoft does its part to help get devices into the hands of educators that help prepare today's students with skills modern businesses demand," a Microsoft spokeswoman said in a statement.

The promotion will run from June 24 to Aug. 31, offering Surface RTs without a keyboard for $199 (down from $499); tablets with a touch keyboard for $249 (normally $599), and those with a type keyboard for $289 (down from $629).

Available to K-12 and high-education institutions, the offer is good in Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, China, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Korea, Mexico, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Russia, Singapore, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, the U.K., and the U.S.

Microsoft is expected to share more details during next week's International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE) 2013 conference, as well as online in its Education Newsroom.

Last week, Microsoft revealed plans to give away 10,000 Surface RT devices during the upcoming ISTE conference as part of the Windows in the Classroom Surface Experience Project.

"Educators using Surface RT have the best of both worlds," Margo Day, vice president of U.S. education for Microsoft, said at the time. "The wonderful experience of a tablet combined with a no-compromise experience of a full-functioning laptop that includes Office and allows for creation and collaboration, and not just consumption."

L.A. school board OKs $30 million for Apple iPads

LA Times



L.A. schools Supt. John Deasy stepped out of a Tuesday Board of Education meeting during a vote to spend $30 million on iPads because, he said, he owns a small amount of stock in Apple. (Luis Sinco / Los Angeles Times / March 13, 2012)

By Howard Blume

June 18, 2013, 6:10 p.m.



Apple Inc. won a $30-million contract Tuesday from the L.A. Unified School District, paving the way for the company to provide every student with an iPad in the nation's second-largest school system.


The Board of Education voted 6 to 0 on Tuesday to approve the contract after hearing senior staff laud Apple's product as both the best in quality and the least expensive option that met the district's specifications.

Tuesday's vote authorized an iPad rollout at 47 campuses. However, by choosing Apple as the sole vendor, the district also made a de facto commitment to spend hundreds of millions of dollars with the Cupertino, Calif.-based digital giant over the next two years.

The tablet computer by Apple “received the highest scoring by the students and the teachers,” who took part in testing different devices, said Deputy Supt. Jaime Aquino.

Board members Steve Zimmer and Richard Vladovic expressed the most concerns. Zimmer questioned whether devices other than tablets were more fitting for high school students. Vladovic worried that the board lacked detailed information on costs.

"This is one of the most high-profile contracts this board will ever approve,” Zimmer said. This contract is “as big as they come.”

"I can sleep tonight with my conscience clear," Aquino responded, "that you did the right thing for kids.”

The district is paying $678 per device -- higher than tablets available in stores -- but the machines will be pre-loaded with educational software. The price does not include a keyboard, which may be necessary for older students.

Vladovic noted that he had dropped and broken two iPads and that students also would break them.

The three-year warranty includes free replacement machines up to 5% of the value of the purchase, he was told.

A Microsoft representative urged the board to pilot more than one product and not to rely on one platform. Doing so could cut off the district from future price reductions and innovations, said Robyn Hines, senior director of state government affairs for Microsoft.

Hines also noted that more businesses still use Microsoft platforms, and that students should be exposed to machines they will encounter in the workplace.

"A one-size-fits-all approach” would limit important options, she said.

But district staff countered that Apple offered the superior product and some students shouldn't have to use a lesser one. They also said that students and teachers often change schools and should not have to learn a different platform.

Teachers union president Warren Fletcher urged a delay in the vote and said resources should be focused on rehiring needed staff.

Officials said they opposed a delay in part because new state and national tests will be taken on computers, and they don't want Los Angeles students to lack the necessary experience with them.

Chief Strategy Officer Matt Hill also noted that the funding is from facility bonds, which can't be used to hire regular school staff.

This source of funding also has been controversial because school bonds are typically used for construction and paid off over decades.

The teachers union also criticized L.A. schools Supt. John Deasy for appearing in an Apple promotional video prior to the bidding process.

Deasy said he abstained from involvement in the decision -- not because of the video but because he owned a small amount of stock in Apple. He left the board room prior to consideration of the contract for the same reason.

Board member Bennett Kayser and general counsel David Holmquist also left the chamber because they own some stock in Apple.
