National Research Council

The National Academy of Sciences is a private, nonprofit, self-perpetuating soci-

ety of distinguished scholars engaged in scientific and engineering research, dedi-
cated to the furtherance of science and technology and to their use for the general
welfare. Upon the authority of the charter granted to it by the Congress in 1863,
the Academy has a mandate that requires it to advise the federal government on
scientific and technical matters. Dr. Bruce M. Alberts is president of the National
Academy of Sciences.

The National Academy of Engineering was established in 1964, under the charter
of the National Academy of Sciences, as a parallel organization of outstanding
engineers. It is autonomous in its administration and in the selection of its mem-
bers, sharing with the National Academy of Sciences the responsibility for advis-
ing the federal government. The National Academy of Engineering also sponsors
engineering programs aimed at meeting national needs, encourages education
and research, and recognizes the superior achievements of engineers. Dr. Wm. A.
Wulf is president of the National Academy of Engineering.

The Institute of Medicine was established in 1970 by the National Academy of

Sciences to secure the services of eminent members of appropriate professions in
the examination of policy matters pertaining to the health of the public. The
Institute acts under the responsibility given to the National Academy of Sciences
by its congressional charter to be an adviser to the federal government and, upon
its own initiative, to identify issues of medical care, research, and education.
Dr. Kenneth I. Shine is president of the Institute of Medicine.

The National Research Council was organized by the National Academy of Sci-
ences in 1916 to associate the broad community of science and technology with
the Academy’s purposes of furthering knowledge and advising the federal gov-
ernment. Functioning in accordance with general policies determined by the Acad-
emy, the Council has become the principal operating agency of both the National
Academy of Sciences and the National Academy of Engineering in providing
services to the government, the public, and the scientific and engineering commu-
nities. The Council is administered jointly by both Academies and the Institute of
Medicine. Dr. Bruce M. Alberts and Dr. Wm. A. Wulf are chairman and vice
chairman, respectively, of the National Research Council.

 Preface

Since its inception, the Computer Science and Telecommunications

Board (CSTB) has examined how the nation’s networked infrastructure
has been evolving. At the close of the past decade, the popular appeal of
the Internet was evident and growing, and with it the range and richness
of the uses to which the Internet might be put. The vision of a popular
Internet leads inevitably to thoughts about how people use it in their
homes—and then to the arresting observation that most people get the
best possible access to the Internet from outside their homes, if they can
get it at all. That observation led CSTB to frame an assessment of broad-
band technologies in what the telecommunications industry has tradi-
tionally called the last mile—the link to homes (and small offices). This
project complements prior CSTB studies of the core of the network—the
backbone, the architecture, broad categories of applications, and specific
categories of networking technology—in its concern to (literally) bring
networking home.
The key questions about broadband technology in the last mile are
deceptively simple. First, what is feasible, technically and economically?
But feasibility is a nuanced quality: it is in the eye of the beholder, and
beholders differ considerably in terms of their assumptions and prefer-
ences. Those same conditions confound answering the second key ques-
tion: how can public policy foster dissemination of broadband in the last
mile? Many industries are involved in supplying broadband technology,
and their existence and strategies are already shaped by public policy.
And many outside those industries, trying to figure out what is going on,
