Bringing High Speed Broadband To Rural America (Policy & Trends)
Description
As part of the FCC’s review of phasing out plain old telephone service (POTS) and transitioning to all IP-based networks, the Commission asked network operators to provide ideas and conduct a series of technology trials in certain areas, including rural locations. The goal is to find more efficient, cost-effective ways to support broadband deployment in rural areas. Join this panel for an update on the IP transition and hear firsthand on the successes, challenges and opportunities associated with deploying high-speed broadband to rural America. Learn how the IP Transition will impact all aspects of broadband delivery going forward, from interconnection to funding programs.
