This "bottom-up" investment minimizes the investment burden facing providers. New technologies such as wireless and data transmission over power lines, as well as deregulation of telecommunications and electric utilities, will provide new opportunities for user investment in intelligent infrastructure as leverage points for Internet and broadband access. Recasting the "problem of the last 100 feet" as "the opportunity of the first 100 feet," this book challenges individuals, businesses, and policymakers to rethink fundamental issues in telecommunications policy. The contributors look at options for Internet and broadband access from the perspective of homeowners, apartment complexes, and small businesses. They evaluate the opportunities and obstacles for bottom-up infrastructure development and the implications for traditional and alternative providers at the neighborhood, regional, and national levels. Already, some argue that Internet service will become the common denominator platform on which all other services can be carried." 001387831 588__ $$aOCLC-licensed vendor bibliographic record. 001387831 650_0 $$aTelecommunication lines$$zUnited States. 001387831 650_0 $$aBroadband communication systems. 001387831 650_0 $$aInternet. 001387831 650_0 $$aElectric utilities$$zUnited States. 001387831 650_0 $$aInfrastructure (Economics)$$zUnited States. 001387831 653__ $$aINFORMATION SCIENCE/Technology & Policy 001387831 655_0 $$aElectronic books 001387831 7001_ $$aHurley, Deborah. 001387831 7001_ $$aKeller, James. 001387831 852__ $$bebk 001387831 85640 $$3MIT Press$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://doi.org/10.7551/mitpress/3012.001.0001?locatt=mode:legacy$$zOnline Access through The MIT Press Direct 001387831 85642 $$3OCLC metadata license agreement$$uhttp://www.oclc.org/content/dam/oclc/forms/terms/vbrl-201703.pdf 001387831 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1387831$$pGLOBAL_SET 001387831 980__ $$aBIB 001387831 980__ $$aEBOOK 001387831 982__ $$aEbook 001387831 983__ $$aOnline
