Broadband Plan Comes Into Focus

John Eggerton -- Broadcasting & Cable, writes:
After some details started slipping out, the FCC eased an embargo on its long-awaited Broadband Plan on March 15, a day ahead of its scheduled unveiling at the commission's monthly public meeting and two days before its delivery to Congress.

Entitled Connect America: The National Broadband Plan, the plan calls for an ambitious refocus on broadband as the medium of choice for information delivery in the new millennium. That includes getting affordable broadband to everyone and high-speed access to at least 100 million households by 2020, including using half of broadcasters spectrum for wireless broadband by 2015.

It could also mean a national framework for taxing online goods and services, and getting a better handle on current broadband speeds and service by new standards and online metrics like dashboards.

Do you understand the difference between public access television and commercial television?

The other day, while discussing the important value of Public Access television with a friend, it occurred to me that one thing that seems to be overlooked when the subject of PEG TV or Pubic Access television comes up is the profound difference between Public Access/ community TV and commercial TV, a profound difference that federal, state and local legislators should be keenly aware of and take advantage of for the good of their communities.

I never understood why many cable and telecom companies have resisted franchise licencing or the mandate to fund and to support public access television. As an institution, Public Access is a community resources, building community in a way that can set the ground work needed for a sustainable commercial markets.

Our legislators have an opportunity through HR 3745, the
Community Access Preservation Act (CAP) to ensure support for Public Access as a good for their community and business constituencies.

The goal of commercial television, as it is with really any commercial enterprise, is to exploit a market. Although the commercial enterprise may wish to sustain it's ability to sell product, ultimately, it's role is to exhaust the market share.

On the other hand, the goal of Public Access/Community TV, as it is really with any non-profit community media, is to nurture, enrich and build community through media. A Sustainable public access mission, provides a rich community resource which inspires, invigorates and even encourages growth in related commercial markets in fields of cable services, television and video production and other creative economy initiatives.
