BCoE Creates Internet Safety Checklist
The University of New Hampshire Broadband Center of Excellence (BCoE) has created a checklist for individuals to use in assessing their vulnerability to threats originating from their use of the Internet wherever they are linked – home or public place.
“At a time when hackers create chaos and are able to gain remote control of automated cars or in-home baby monitors, it is incumbent for us all to take responsibility for Internet safety and not passively trust governments, organizations and service providers to do it for us,” said BCoE Executive...

The University of New Hampshire’s Broadband Center of Excellence (BCoE) wishes our readers and contributors a very merry Christmas and happy and prosperous New Year. We conclude the year on an encouraging high note for TV White Space (TVWS) which has gained some momentum since mid-year. We continue to believe this technology, with support from large corporations, could represent the best chance for deploying universally available broadband. But lots more work needs to be done on development, standardization and ultimately creation of affordable hardware.

Hello,
Last month we saw the next shoe to drop in Microsoft’s TV White Space (TVWS) strategy. Recall that in July 2017 Microsoft said it could spend up to $10 billion to get broadband deployed using a broadband wireless network powered by TVWS. It caught my attention.
Now, here’s what came this July. Read More...

Hello,
Spring is upon us, but it was hard to tell at times in the recent weeks here in New England with three major Nor’easter storms battering us. I retain positive thoughts that nice weather is just around the corner. My colleague Mr. Nikolich also remains positive about the work underway in his IEEE committee and offers us a take on some of the Committee’s major... Read More

My colleague Mr. Nikolich also remains positive about the work underway in his IEEE committee and offers us a take on some of the Committee’s major efforts. We also include a positive update from the FCC about broadband deployment in the US. Read More... Read More

Hello,
After reading the ITU report on the State of Broadband 2017 I have mixed feelings about our global broadband usage. On the one hand, more people areon broadband networks, ITU says. But then again billions more are not. There are a variety of reason offered in the report, but that's a lot of people off the net. Obviously more work nees to be done to broaden the reach of this important utility. Read More

The phrase $10 billion investmet is an eyecatcher.
It caught my attention when Microsoft announced it could spend up to that amount on developing and deploying TV White Space over the next few years. BCoE has worked hard over the recent past with an eye toward helping entrepeneurs begin deploying TVWS systems that enjoy reasonably priced equipment - as we did for broadband and its cable modems. What follows is a snapshot of our TVWS efforts, along with some interesting reports by my colleague Paul Nikolich from his recent IEEE meetings on 802 standards efforts in Berlin. ... Read More

It is safe to say that this Q2 of 2017 has been one of the more interseting periods of time in the broadband Internt space in our world. I have been foucsed on these activities, particularly as they occur in Washington, D.C. This edition of the newsletter provides a non -biased assessment of the pros and cons of the net neutrality rules put in place by the previous administration with the intent of establishing a baseline for analysis of new rules that will soon be upon us. ...
