Why Digital Equity Matters to ISP's
February 26 and 27, 2025
9:00am and 1:00pm each day
Virtual Event
9:00am and 1:00pm each day
Virtual Event
Presenter
Jon Willow, Digital Equity Practice Leader, Community Broadband Action Network (CBAN)
Session Summary
Digital Equity is a condition in which all individuals and communities have the information technology capacity needed for full participation in our society, democracy and economy. Digital Equity is necessary for civic and cultural participation, employment, lifelong learning, and access to essential services. CBAN and other organizations have been working to promote digital equity for many years, but a key question remains: Why should broadband providers care about this work?
In this informative virtual session, CBAN's Jon Willow will outline what digital equity means and why its important to the millions of Americans who are on the other side of the digital divide. She'll also explain how ISP's benefit from better broadband adoption and digital skills and what role they can play in helping achieve digital equity for all.

The Path to 10G over DOCSIS
Wednesday, September 27, 2023
10:00am and 2:00pm
Online
Instructor: Doug Jones, CableLabs
As we march towards the frontier of 10G, new cable modems already being certified are capable of 5 Gbps capacity, with integrated standard 2.5 Gbps Ethernet ports that make it easier to distribute that capacity throughout the home. With full duplex and extended spectrum capabilities integrated into next-generation DOCSIS 4.0 technology, the industry will be able to deliver on that 10 Gbps promise over hybrid fiber coax networks.
In this session, Doug Jones with CableLabs will talk about the path to 10G and steps that operators should take to prepare for it.

Joint training with West Virginia Chapter
Featured Speakers: Emily Call, Midwest Video Solutions and Jean Edhlund, Cooperative Network Services
Internet Protocol Television (IPTV) has been used by video providers, especially those with fiber networks, for a number of years. But IPTV has been evolving beyond it's original ecosystem with proprietary set-top boxes.
In this session we will discuss the differences between traditional IPTV and app-based delivery and take a look at how IPTV will continue to evolve. And we will take a look at how cable companies are making the transition to app-based delivery methods using consumer devices like Roku and Amazon Fire Sticks.
