With the goal to push for faster broadband speed for all Americans, FCC has submitted the National Broadband Plan to congress. The plan suggests American residents should be able to download at 100 Mbps and upload at 50 Mbps. How much the Internet service providers will charge for such speed?
As of now, getting 6 Mbps or a little higher for download speed has already cost each of us somewhere $40 to $50. The thought of paying $100 for the broadband speed that the FCC suggests would not be so enticing. In fact, not too many people want to even think about such a price. The Internet service providers would have to lower the price for theirs current plans a whole lot down or forgo their current broadband plans completely before rolling out the super fast broadband speed that the FCC has in mind.
The plan is out, but the implementation is not going to happen right away. Obviously, the governmental approval process is a bureaucratic one which will be long, and then it will take much longer for the Internet service providers to accommodate FCC’s plan. How many years before Americans see super fast broadband speed? Will anyone want to take a wild guess at that?
American people are going to be super innovative when they have faster broadband speed! Imagine any average Joe, young or old, and even younger or older, they all could start to host their own web servers, databases, and so on at home. Electricity consumption for average household will skyrocket. That would be good for the electric company! Data transfer won’t be a problem for viewing crystal clear Internet videos using High Definition technology. YouTube won’t be having problem of airing tons of HD videos! Video games through Internet might get even better as game developers fear less about data compression and more about contents and graphic qualities. Small home businesses will be able to transact and transfer data with ease as bits travel throughout the digital realm much faster. You name it, faster the better!
In conclusion, even faster broadband speed changes little, at least we Americans may be able to brag that we aren’t so far behind from those other countries who have been using super fast broadband speeds, and we’ve only suggested about the implementation of a faster broadband speed that have been the standards for many countries for quite some time already. What can you do with faster, super fast broadband speed? Source.
