this would diminish the economic gains according to broadbent.drill deeper into show you how we calculate these numbers, you have suppliers and from the revenue, we are losing about 50% that 60% in cannibalized sales. as users switched over from their dial service to broadband, they probably paid $20 for dialogue and many people had a second phone line. a lot of times, he would be completely offsetting. because of this, it would pull down the actual number that we should put for broadbent. this number is going to vary with the assumed price for broadband. obviously, this will shift the line around a little bit. we should be out front and that we have not looked up profitability for firms. broadbandhave the cost to the household and balls of this, this is all we can say is revenue, but put differently, we're also -- our estimates don't imply that the firms that are supplying broadband would be losing quite a bit of money. they're kind of within the reasonable ballpark. so we're in some ways very confident with the numbers that we shouldn't see the

in new york city, the average cost of broadbent access is close to $700 a year. -- the average cost of broadband access is close to $700 a year. critics of this point of view will claim that the job of delivering information should fall to journalists. in 1995, "the new york times" was on average 30 pages. it covered activities of towns around new york city as well. today, the metro section bill longer exists and the paper barely provides 2 to 4 pages of coverage. the effort to keep track of government and its activities is falling to a new generation the report to citizens via blogs and online sites, but if working- class people cannot afford this access, they are going to be excluded from this. it is time to redefine the term public itself. it is no longer adequate for any government law that requires a piece of data be available to the public only in a government office. in our connected world, information can only be defined if it is machine-readable and accessible on line. we talked about education previously. let me give you a quick example of how much the digital divide has chan

i say broadbent, it's actually the sense of kind of a 50000, halfway across the country. what you want to do for that? where do you want it to go? >> i will call on commissioner gustitus give you a little more detail, but we think fundamentally you don't want to 20 century infrastructure to put an infrastructure for the 21st century. so to us it makes ultimate common sense to put the fiber down for all kinds of capabilities. some of which we can't know yet because they are over the horizon but they would certainly be municipal needs, private sector should be able to plug into that as well. should notify isps if you're going to tear up the road so they want to put down some of their own proprietary capabilities they can do that. i will let josh talk a little bit more about that. in terms of what we want the folks to do with the broadband, our first thought is you really use these kind of demand aggregators, big users, hospital, libra, some other significant public service which you can can branch off with greater speed. let me do for now to josh lamel who oversees all of o

the other is broadbent very bad example where people have said that in the first amount of money theng of the commerce department, the first round of the broadband money was so narrowly defined in the eligibility of on served areas that only remote, rural areas could qualify for this funding. yet, most business and private sector people who want broadband, think of it as an opportunity. they have a cable modem so they can boost a entrepreneurship and small businesses and connect workers to the system so they can find employment. we need to think about deploying this in a way that it has the kind of catalytic impact on the market so we can feel. itfeel so we can feel it. . >> the level of where you otherwise would have been is completely hypothetical. no, i think it is unfortunate that we got into this question of new or saved. i don't think we can put a number out. the employment losses in this recession, by historical standards, were extraordinary. it has just been a terrible loss of jobs. the good news is, going forward, people will be surprised, on the basis of historical experien

today's discussion will help frame and shape the work of the national broadbent task force and guide the development of the national broadband plan. for the first panel i would like to welcome the distinguished speakers, vivek kundra, gramm richard, former mayor of fort wayne indianans and beth noveck federal chief technology officer for open government. we will hear ten minute presentations from each of our panelists falling 15 minutes of q&a from the fcc panel and at the conclusion open up to the public for 15 minutes of questions and answers. also before i begin, i would like to ask the audience here in washington, d.c. to please turn off yourself or at least put them on vibrate. we want to make sure that our participants online don't hear the buzzing of cell phones. washington, d.c.. with that, vivek, the floor is yours. >> thank you, eugene, for the kind introduction and mr. chairman, thank you very much for holding this important hearing. on a subject that affects the united states government and more importantly the very people we serve. if we think about this in a macrolevel

broadbent is really essential to online education.out broadband, online education certainly suffers. research shows and a lot of my research shows that one of the major challenges to delivering successful technology-based education is the speed of internet access at high speed broadband access i really essential to the effective delivery of online skills training and education. yet many americans still do not have high speed access. and it's not available to them in their communities. studies have shown that learners who have access to high speed internet can more easily navigate their crsework, can finish coursework faster and are more likely to finish. they don't have to connect to the internet if they don't have dial-up problems. their courses don't fall down and they can also get a wider breadth of coursework that there's more available to them if they have high speed internet. high-speed internet can not only offer better coursework but it can also offer more interactive coursework through voice, data and video sharing. it can fa

about as we think about how do we expand access to on line training and support services, how can broadbentalso sort of bridge the gaps between tse systems to make it easier for low and middle skilled workers to access the servers, particularly expanding access on line training to create seamless pathways between these different systems so that workers n't have to sit and try to figure out where do i go from here, will this be accepted at the next place. we also need to think about whether or not on line thing is connected to business needs within the community. it's wonderful to get on line training but if it doesn't result in a job, then it's not necessarily as effective for the lower or middle school workers. so one innovation that is being carried out on the state level to help increase business involvement and job training are what we call industry sector partnerships or you bring together multiple stakeholders connected to an industry, multiple employers, labor groups, community based organization, public workforce is in, education and training providers. i suggest that's one innovati
