SUMMARY:FFB Week 2 - Broadband First: Access to Fiber Internet Surpasses 50% of U.S. Households [New Research]
DESCRIPTION:Fiber-optic cables are the gold standard for broadband infrastructure. The backbone of the internet utilizes fiber\, and without it\, the internet as we know it today would not be possible. With their unparalleled data transmission speed and reliability\, the technology poised to become even more critical. They will not only cater to escalating data consumption but also enable innovations in artificial intelligence\, virtual reality\, and smart cities\, fundamentally reshaping our interaction with technology and each other. As such\, tracking fiber penetration across the U.S. broadband market provides valuable insights into technological adoption and accessibility. Tracking penetration is difficult\, however\, because data on adoption of specific technology types is often not publicly available. \nOur presentation highlights an innovative approach to address this gap. We have developed a machine learning algorithm capable of analyzing vast amounts of raw speed test data to identify which tests were conducted over fiber connections. This is based on the unique performance benchmarks of fiber technology. Preliminary results are promising\, showing an accuracy rate of approximately 95%. Join us as we uncover the potential of this technology in enhancing our understanding of broadband infrastructure’s evolution. \nGuest Presenter: Tyler Cooper\, Editor-In-Chief\, BroadbandNow \nTyler Cooper\, BroadbandNow’s Editor-in-Chief\, has over a decade of telecom experience and is a featured speaker at conferences like Net Inclusion 2020. His expertise spans digital inclusion\, municipal broadband\, telecom legislation\, emerging technologies\, and the societal impact of broadband. Internationally recognized\, Tyler’s work includes publications on VentureBeat\, TechRadar\, Digital Trends\, and The Next Web. He has been featured in VICE\, Fox News\, Voice of America\, and other outlets\, addressing broadband issues like the digital divide\, net neutrality\, cybersecurity\, and internet access since 2015. \n		\n					\n				Register Now
