BROADBAND OADBAND SP SPEEDS EDS IN IN TH THE E US US – HOW OW DO DO WE WE COM OMPARE? ARE? Akamai Technologies released its Third Quarter 2015 State of the Internet Report, which found that the average broadband speed across the United States is 12.6 Mbps. The US ranked 16 th in the world in average broadband speed. This average speed puts the US behind first-ranked South Korea (20.5 Mbps), second-ranked Sweden (17.4 Mbps), and third-ranked Norway (16.4 Mbps), much of the rest of Europe, as well as Japan and Hong Kong. No US state had average connection speeds reaching the FCC’s new 25 Mbps broadband threshold. www.kandf.com

OUR OUR ASP SPIR IRATI TIONS ONS 5 YE YEARS RS AGO GO Federal Communications Commission, National Broadband Plan, 2010 “The United States must lead the world in the number of homes and people with access to affordable, world-class broadband connections. As such, 100 million U.S. homes should have affordable access to actual download speeds of at least 100 Mbps and actual upload speeds of at least 50 Mbps by 2020. This will create the world’s most attractive market for broadband applications, devices and infrastructure. ” www.kandf.com

In determining whether the local telephone company is providing, or will provide, broadband service in the community, the only relevant consideration is data speed. If the company is willing to provide the data speed that the community seeks, no other factor can be considered, including price, quality of service, coverage, mobility, etc. ( 66 Pa. Cons. Stat.

WHY DO “SMART CITIES” NEED BETTER BROADBAND? The Internet of Things and the applications it will require to provide new services involves three critical components Sensors Connectivity People and the capability to utilize them The Internet of Things will allow us to connect, analyze and view data from any device, and take coordinated action. www.kandf.com
