A webinar presented by Plume. In the not-so-distant future, our lives will be dominated by new technology applications that will demand a profound increase in capacity and lower latency to support aggregate use of these applications in the home.
Plume's Global Vice President of Telecom & Wireless Associations, Jeff Gavlinski, will review these applications and discuss why these applications will shift the way we design, build and deliver broadband services.
The United Kingdom’s recently unveiled Online Safety Bill seeks to protect Internet users from various digital threats by imposing new legal obligations on social media platforms, search engines, and other user-generated content services. Advocates for the bill believe it will provide transparency on how online services moderate their platforms while preventing harmful content from reaching children and adults.
5G wireless technology is being rolled out in the United States and around the world. By mid-decade there will be an estimated 3 billion 5G connected users, globally. The speed, connectivity, and low-latency of 5G will make it a critical backbone technology to a wide range of climate tech applications. From autonomous vehicles to supporting an Internet of Things (IoT) ecosystem to improve energy efficiency and connectivity of devices like smart manufacturing and agriculture, 5G infrastructure will be essential to meeting our energy and environmental challenges.
The Federal Communications Commission’s Technological Advisory Council will hold a meeting on Thursday June 9, 2022 via conference call and available to the public via the internet at http:// www.fcc.gov/live
The committee will consider and advise the FCC on topics such as 6G, artificial intelligence, advanced spectrum sharing technologies, and emerging wireless technologies, including new tools to restore internet access during shutdowns and other disruptions.
The federal government is in the process of allocating an unprecedented amount of money to close the digital divide. Many of these funds will be sent to states who will distribute them to broadband projects.
The internet has always thrived under a mostly laissez-faire regulatory framework, but under President Barack Obama in 2015, Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Chairman Tom Wheeler enacted the Open Internet Order, which tried to change broadband classification by imposing common carrier internet regulations under the guise of net neutrality.
