Problem definition • Some places still at dial-up speeds • Still expensive • Too slow for many applications
The Solution • Broadband is the solution to the problems and limitations • Provides Faster Connections • Supports more applications • Video (SD and HD) • Interactive rich media • High resolution graphics
