		<description><![CDATA[The first goal of the FCC’s recent National Broadband Plan is to ensure at least 100 million US homes have access to Internet connections with download speeds of at least 100 Mbps by the end of the decade (the year 2020).  This goal strikes me as not being a terribly ambitious.  I can’t help feeling that the FCC is trying to catch the US up in ten years to where Japan is now.  From what I have been reading on the listservs, given current pace of deployment of FiOS and DOCSIS 3.0, the market will accomplish this goal on its own.  This fact begs the question what is need for governmental intervention.  Instead, the FCC should propose a more ambitious goal (one that might have a higher risk of failure) and devise a road map necessary for achieving that goal.  Perhaps this will come out in follow on work to National Broadband Plan.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In my last Cool Stuff post, I wrote about FFTH (or fiber from the house).  In the past week, I have had the chance to refine my idea, and I even had a chance to read the very good paper by Slater and Wu, Homes with Tails.  The more I think about the subject, the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A while back, I was asked by a client how to stimulate the deployment of a fiber to the home infrastructure given the enormous risk of stranded investment and given a potentially capital-constrained incumbent. I suggested FFTH &#8211; fiber from the home. I was not being facetious, at least not totally. When I gave my [...]]]></description>
