美国2600万人没接入宽带,原因何在?

美国宽带的发展水平,并不像很多人想象中那样领先。最近披露的两份报告,揭开了美国宽带发展所面 临的挑战。 除了"接入鸿沟",更严重的是"使用鸿沟"。BroadbandNow认为,即使某些地区已有宽带网络覆盖,高 昂的使用成本仍使许多家庭无法负担。 研究机构BroadbandNow最近发布的报告指出,尽管全美范围内的通信基础设施水平持续提升,但是"毁 灭性"的负担能力差距仍使很多人用不起固定宽带。例如,在排名垫底的阿拉斯加州,只有0.2%的居民 能够享受可负担的固定宽带服务。 该报告也对美国联邦通信委员会(FCC)的数据提出了强烈质疑。美国目前对宽带的定义为"100Mbps/ 下行速率、20Mbps/上行速率",FCC之前表示美国有1960万人未能用上宽带,而BroadBandNow调查后 认为,实际未用上宽带的美国人约2600万人。 而全球知名宽带测速机构Ookla对美国110个原住民部落进行的调研显示,近四成部落的网速中位值低于 FCC所设定的宽带最低下载速率标准(100Mbps)。 同时值得关注的是,受"可负担性"因素影响,在美国的一些州,即使光纤覆盖率较高,但宽带发展水平 却比较落后。这一现实正在推动美国 ...
