Supernova Video: Rick Whitt of Google
Rick Whitt, Telecom and Media Counsel for Google, discusses his view that Broadband should be thought of as infrastructure rather than a service that’s delivered. There are some key distinctions and assumptions that go with each of those views.
He also explains the concept of “White Space” bandwidth and the potential it has to provide fast, extensive wireless signals, unlicensed in a way similar to “WiFi on Steroids,” that would benefit all Americans.
Finally, Rick discusses what Google is doing in Washington, and their role in helping provide “accessibility to common platforms” – the ability for consumers to have more ways to connect to the Internet for every day experiences.
