In its most basic form broadband is an ‘always on' connection with data transfer speed that is faster than those of dial-up modems. Despite initial interest, without a surge of high-speed internet access, the technology industry, and the economy at large will remain stalled, argues Michael Copeland and Om Malik from Red Herring. New technologies from start-ups may provide a solution to promote and develop this. Many politicians across the US are hailing broadband expansion as a cure-all, citing it as a means of saving the country from recession. It is not just high-speed internet access that matters, it is the knock-on effect that this development will have on other online services, chips, computing hardware and software applications as a result.
