FCC’s Measuring Broadband America Report Tells Only Half the Story
NetForecast reviewed the FCC Measuring Broadband America report (Aug 2011), which publicizes measurements of US ISPs’ broadband performance. NetForecast examination of the FCC report and the underlying data concludes that it is an accurate account of the true performance delivered by US ISPs but falls short in several respects. The FCC report covers only half of the performance equation—the supply half. NetForecast believes it is time for the FCC to expand its investigation to include the demand half of the equation—the prodigious growth in resource consumption by major websites, browsers, and behind-the-scenes services. A report on the rest of the equation will reveal the need for an Energy Star equivalent for Internet applications such as Google and Facebook. Read the NetForecast report here.
