CES shows a great illustration of how important broadband is. These are the cutting edge products that people are going to want, that people are going to demand because these companies do a great job of anticipating that.
Broadband is the key to a lot of innovations to the Internet but also communications. The bigger the pipe, the more information the more, technology, everything.
The ability to have broadband is such a just horizon broadening experience.
You can see the products on the market today and the ones that are being shown here for tomorrow. They assume there will be broadband.
Products not only create jobs by the people making them and selling them, they create opportunities for content, for applications.
And those jobs are good jobs, they’re creative jobs, they’re the kind of job that Americans want where you’re using your mind.
For health purposes, the telemedicine is an extraordinary way that hospitals can get expertise that they may not get in the time that they need to. So having broadband deployment is so important in so many ways.
We are a medical device company that’s developed a remote patient monitoring system that connects patients with their care providers by collecting information from different biometric devices, like glucose meters,
and the we transmit that information via the cell phone network either a CDMA connection or a GSM connection to our backend system that allows the care provider to login wherever they have a web connection.
We have a home monitoring kit. Which is our little consumer security kit that’s going to help you monitor what’s going on in your house and add into that the 3G doorbell. It’s a doorbell that you install just like any normal one, it’s battery operated.
As soon as someone comes to your door, you hit your doorbell and it’s going to turn on the camera right on top, and that’s going to give you an image of who’s at your door. And that doorbell will also alert your cell phone.
So if you’re at the grocery store, or if you’re even out on vacation, your phone will pop up a visual image of who is in front of your house.
Pearson Learning Studio is a learning management system that you can use on ground in your school, homeschooling, all the way up to a fully online course such as the four year traditional schools, for profit schools and the like. The more bandwidth you have, the faster you can pump content to people.
Gaming now online is huge.
Because of the broadband expansion, we can actually produce a online browser 3D environment and it’s not like a cartoon, it’s a real 3D environment.
This is the best place to come to see where broadband is headed, to see where these products are headed. All these great manufacturers around the world are building devices in anticipation of people’s demand,
because they want to sell these things. And they know that one thing that people want to do with these devices is to connect to other people, to connect to the Internet.
