Broadband: Benefits
Broadband is an accelerator of social and economic development:
• Jobs multiplier
• Increases in worker productivity, wages and more service
offerings at lower prices
• Creation of new or offshoot industries
• Additional investment in R&D
• Greater efficiencies in distribution of goods, services and
information
• Increased demand for equipment
• Greater investment in next-generation networks
• Reduction in the digital divide

Broadband: Sector Snapshot
• High-speed access by
consumers and businesses
is growing.
• Spending on services
reached $13 billion in 2003
and is expected to grow to
$25 billion by 2007.
• Cable will retain subscriber
advantage, but spending on
DSL services will pass
spending on cable in 2006.
• Wireless and fiber access will
generate $3.4 billion in
revenue in 2007.

Broadband: Worldwide Deployment
U.S. Lags Behind in Broadband
Deployment
• Other countries, led by Korea and
Canada, have strategic vision for
broadband deployment.
• U.S. must not be outpaced by
major trading partners in
deployment of cutting-edge
technologies and networks.
• Lack of broadband connectivity
inhibits job creation in the U.S.

Broadband: New Applications
Voice over Internet Protocol
(VoIP)
• Personalized, unified
communications
• Integration of voice, data,
other applications in a
manner not previously
possible
• Flexibility and computing
power not found in circuitswitched networks

TIA Broadband Principles
• The United States needs a national broadband policy to drive
widespread deployment.
• Affordable, highly advanced and secure communications
services should be available to all Americans.
• Competitive market forces, not regulations, should be the
principal means of achieving this goal.
• Governments should intervene only where such intervention
(1) is necessary to effectively address a specific, critical
problem and (2) is targeted and otherwise designed to
minimize disruption to competitive market forces.

Broadband:
TIA Broadband Principles
• Governments should make available the necessary radio
spectrum for the deployment of advanced communications
services.
• Governments should implement policies that encourage
investment in new and diverse communications technologies.
• All players — government, private sector and consumers —
should participate in the formulation of broadband policy.

Broadband: TIA’s Broadband Mission
Promote ubiquitous broadband deployment globally.
• Seek regulatory-free zone for new, last-mile broadband investments.
• Work for removal of barriers to broadband deployment including rights of
way, franchise fees and excessive taxes.
• Support fiscal incentives, such as tax credits, grants, pilot-project funding
and low-interest loans.
• Assist international organizations to realize the economic and social
benefits of broadband.
• Encourage deployment of all broadband access technologies.
• Seek additional globally harmonized spectrum allocations.

TIA VoIP

Broadband: TIA VoIP Policy
Principles for the U.S.
• Regulation should not be applied to VoIP without thorough
justification that it is necessary as a matter of public policy.
• A single federal policy for VoIP regulation is a must and, in
fact, the nature of the technology demands such an approach.
• All communications technologies should play a part in
advancing core public interest issues, such as emergency
response needs and universal service.
• VoIP offerings should be marketed in a manner that allows
consumers to make informed choices.
GSC-9, Seoul
Broadband: TIA’s U.S. VoIP Mission
• Promote growth of IP networks and applications
unfettered by economic regulation.
• Ensure one national policy on regulatory treatment of
VoIP.
• Seek industry-driven solutions for core public interest
issues.
