National Broadband Plan on Energy Environment: Green, Lean and Mean
0 likes189 views
The document discusses how implementing the National Broadband Plan could help the United States reduce energy consumption and costs. It argues that a connected smart grid could allow energy producers to more efficiently distribute power, potentially cutting usage by $140-240 billion. A broadband-connected smart home and business infrastructure could further reduce energy use through remote monitoring and control of appliances and systems. The plan may also lower transportation costs by enabling telehealth, remote work, and online shopping. The article concludes the plan could create jobs, make the U.S. a global leader in technology, and benefit the economy and environment through a more sustainable energy system.

- 1. Service Provider Mobility: National Broadband Plan on Energy & Environment: Green, Lean and Mean Posted by Leonard Grace Apr 6, 2010 After more recent and serious delving into the merits of The National Broadband Plan, with the usual effects of a clearer understanding; a more interesting and omnipresent realization begins to emerge. How can we not see, and surely embrace, the positive effects such a plan could have on an energy consuming U.S. thereby creating an energy saving global leader and economic powerhouse with continued and sustained broadband proliferation? It sets before us, waiting to be reviewed and accepted, with its pure intentions of common sense logic. But little has been said or debated, in suggesting that such a direction could save the U.S. economy $billions, while creating tremendous job growth and reviving our economic conundrum. Smart Energy Distribution Having a poor communications grid is at the epicenter of our inefficient consumption of fuel, and the recent FCC technology plan takes particular aim at this inefficiency. What can be accomplished by connecting energy companies to a technological Smart Grid within our borders? Power producers and distributors can monitor and direct energy usage, incorporate Generated by Jive SBS on 2010-04-14-06:00 1

See (Networking the Green Economy: How Broadband and Related Technologies Can Build a Green Economic Future) Smart Technologies for both Home & Business Contemplate a broadband infrastructure connected to every home and business to monitor and control power consumption, appliances, business networking; energy saving concepts that start with a Home Gateway. The opportunity to save energy is boundless. Think of the new jobs created, not only in continuing to build a fast and economical broadband infrastructure, but designing and maintaining the smart technology made useful by universal connectivity. See (Smart grid potential gated by broadband) Broadband Technology network integration to reduce travel costs It goes without saying that Americans continue to travel for everything imaginable, and not just for pleasure. Think of the savings associated with having connectedness to telehealth, where physicians can review, diagnose, and treat diseases without an office visit; where companies can communicate and network from long distances without heavy travel; where e-commerce can virtually replace the need to travel for the things out of habit. What could be the possibilities in energy savings of having such a wide-spread networked broadband? See (National Broadband Plan Connecting America: Chapter 12-Energy and the Environment) Green, Lean & Mean All constituents should closely study a proposal of such strategic and national importance in support of the adoption and implementation of Chapter 12- Energy and Environment of The National Broadband Plan. It’s not political; but it is a necessity in creating a new economy, reduced energy consumption and dependency, new and sustainable jobs, by connecting all Americans with fast and accessible technologies, while helping to create global leadership Generated by Jive SBS on 2010-04-14-06:00 2
