* what broadband techniques will emerge in the future?
- WiMax - BPL
Both forms of broadband delivery could be a real threat to the established DSL and cable operators. However, none of them have been fully implemented yet.
* Will the emerging broadband-over-powerline (BPL) technology be successful?
BPL proposed the use of the existing electrical grid as a giant data network that could form an immediate alternative to Cable and DSL. So far all intents to introduce this service have not been successful. However, it is a genius concept and might represent a real threat to cable and phone companies. BPL companies have started to develop alliances and partnerships with different types of companies to try to implement this concept.
* what are the future opportunities of broadband?
* Is their a growing distance between countires with a good developed broadband system and conutries with an underdeveloped broadband system?
* Will the limited availabilty of broadband in under-developed countries limit their development?
Developing countires can have a lack of information compared to developed countries.
Future development in techniques such as WiMax.....
*What will be the issues raised in mass multimedia download and sharing related to broadband growth?
*When will hardware bottlenecks limit the growth of broadband?
*When will the marginal utility of increased bandwidth be negligible?
*What security problems arise by the combination of fast computational speed limits and broadband communications?
*What problems have to be solved before broadband communication can be used as a substitute to other ways of communication?
