Obama Gets Serious about Broadband
In an address to be given at Northern Michigan University in Marquette, Mich., President Obama today will detail plans to facilitate the rollout of high-speed wireless services across more of the country.
In his State of the Union address, President Obama called for a "National Wireless Initiative" to make available high-speed wireless services to at least 98 percent of Americans. The president today will lay out "The Wireless Innovation and Infrastructure Initiative" that he hopes will free up spectrum through incentive auctions, spur innovation and creating a nationwide, interoperable wireless network for public safety. President Obama says the plan will reduce the national deficit by approximately $10 billion.
The president has chosen to detail the plan in a city where local businesses have been able to grow as a result of broadband access, with particular benefit in exporting goods to new markets around the world. He will also see a demonstration of how the university's WiMAX network has enabled distance learning for university and community students.
The Administration has set the goal of freeing up 500 MHz of spectrum within the next 10 years. The proposal to auction off spectrum freed up from the government and voluntarily relinquished by current commercial users is estimated to raise $27.8 billion. The White House says the auctions could reduce the deficit by $9.6 billion over the next decade.
Last June, President Obama issued a memorandum calling for action by the federal government and Congress to enable spectrum to be used more efficiently. The NTIA identified 115 MHz of federal spectrum that can be freed up as part of a "fast track" process for exclusive or shared use, selected another 95 MHz of spectrum for immediate evaluation and offered a plan for evaluating other federal spectrum bands that can be used more efficiently.

IMS Research Study Finds Russian IPTV Market has Reached 374k Subs
AUSTIN, TX — Preliminary results from the IMS Research study ‘IPTV: A Global Market Analysis – 2011 Edition’, reveal that the IPTV subscriber base in the emerging BRIC markets exceeds 8 million subscribers for 2010, with China dominating the figure. A CAGR of 13% for BRIC is expected through the forecast period, which ends in 2015.
John Kendall, IMS Research Market Analyst and author of the study states, “Infrastructure and broadband penetration are the big hurdles to IPTV adoption in emerging markets. A good example is a country like Russia, with low broadband penetration and a highly segmented market, where IPTV growth has been rapid but still accounting for less than 1% of all TV households, remaining at 374,000 subscribers. It will continue growing at a steady pace.” Over the forecast period, IMS Research forecasts that Russian IPTV subscribers will experience continued growth, but still remain under the million subscriber milestone. Kendall continues, “Most of the IPTV uptake will naturally remain around densely populated urban centers, where existing infrastructure can handle the bandwidth necessary for IPTV, and new build-outs will be focused.”
The analysis in this new study indicates similar restrictions to IPTV growth in other emerging market areas, including Eastern Europe, Latin America, the Middle East and Africa. The Fourth Edition IPTV report includes comprehensive analysis for 68 countries and profiles more than 200 operators. The report also includes a bandwidth forecast, which focuses on the amount of bandwidth utilized by IPTV households, signal delivery methods (xDSL, FTTH, & DOCSIS), set-top box shipments and revenues, and an examination of the IPTV Hospitality market. The report is set for publication January 31, 2011.
