goal 6 / energy and environment
The article is now significantly heavier on the energy and environment ("
- Also dated, see below. Certainly to a Democratic congress you use rhetoric about saving energy. After the 2010 congressional elections, it became "cut the deficit" and homeland security became the justification. W Nowicki (talk) 01:59, 31 July 2011 (UTC)
part of "smart grid" article collection?
Actually this article could benefit from being listed in the same group as other
maps?
Some maps including reach of broadband in Canada and Mexico border areas would be useful and interesting. Some Canadian cities already have 100mbps Internet (cablecos) and 70mbps with 15mbps upload (using telco fibre). The reports may be somewhat out of date of connectivity of US cities in this article (need a lot more "as of" types of statements).
Need section on Blair Levin
He worked extsnively on it. Every time he moves everyone talks about it on the web. LaidOff (talk) 19:04, 4 February 2011 (UTC)
Issues: POV etc.
This articles has some serious point of view and sourcing problems, among others. For example, three links to
- "The Internet, a system of interconnected computer networks primarily in the USA,..."
Very dated - there are now more Internet sites in China than the USA; see List of countries by number of Internet users. This is another example of a quote of dubious merit just given without comment. Looking carefully, that is from a 1992 paper. Instead should apply to Al Gore's National Information Infrastructure project back then. We do ned to tie these together (buzzwords of each administration).
Also need to point out the conflicting definitions. I note that according to the US government definition my Internet connection would not be considered broadband, because I turn mine off when not using it to conserve electricity, while they say it must be "always on"! So a conflict with the claims about saving power. Needs work. W Nowicki (talk) 20:23, 13 July 2011 (UTC)
Spectrum reallocation
I was doing another edit and couldn't believe the monster section I had mostly created. It's completely irrelevant here since there is another section called "spectrum reallocation". I'm just grateful the person who thought the section had too much information didn't remove more of it. I chose to put a link to the new article in the "spectrum reallocation" section. That's the more appropriate place for what promises to be a fundamental change in the nature of television as we know it, and possibly the end of broadcast TV, period.— Vchimpanzee · talk · contributions · 21:38, 5 July 2013 (UTC)
