The Thin Red Line: Access For All or Just For The Rich?

Contents

This iDRD (Insight-based Data-Rich Deliverable) is part of the Business IP and Business Wireline Data subscription.  This insight discusses and analyzes AT&T’s announcement to bring satellite broadband to rural areas that are hard to reach as well as IPTV to the low-income communities expanding the scope of their WiMAX offerings. Business IP includes services used to carry and/or connect to the Internet.  Wireline data includes expenditures on for-fee data transport services over the public switched telephone network or an in-ground private data network (IP, ATM, frame relay etc.). These services include, but are not limited to, high speed Internet access (DSL, cable, and ISDN), T1+ transport services (local access charges not included), frame relay, ATM, Ethernet MAN services, and hosted services provisioned directly to the customer by a telecom service provider (co-location, Web hosting, applications hosting, infrastructure hosting, managed network services).  The Expert Guide for this deliverable is Kneko Burney.
