US BROADBAND GROWTH SPURS DEBATE
[SOURCE: Technology Daily 6/15, AUTHOR: Winter Casey]
Experts debating the U.S. high-speed Internet climate and how it compares to
penetration rates in other parts of the world offered different views on the
current state of affairs during a policy forum. During an Information
Technology and Innovation Foundation event, Rob Atkinson referenced statistics
that all point to the United States falling behind in broadband penetration.
But Scott Wallsten, a senior fellow and director of communications policy
studies at the Progress and Freedom Foundation, focused on perceived
inaccuracies in the commonly cited Organization for Economic Cooperation and
Development statistics. Moreover, while Wallsten said there is little evidence
of broad market failure in the United States and noted unprecedented investment
in broadband infrastructure, Atkinson countered that heavy investment does not
necessarily equal market success.
