Enough of the 5G Hype Wireless carriers are working hard to talk up 5G (Fifth Generation) wireless as the future of broadband. But don’t be fooled—they are only trying to focus our attention on 5G to try to distract us from their willful failure to invest in a proven ultrafast option for many Americans: fiber to the home, or FTTH. A recent FCC report on competition found that the future of high-speed broadband for most Americans will be a cable monopoly . Without a plan to promote fiber to the home, that’s not likely to change. In fact, because the 5G upgrade relies on fiber infrastructure, even 5G will be possibly limited to areas that already have FTTH – meaning, they already have a competitive landscape and, therefore, better service. The rest of us get monopolistic slow lanes. Regulators and policymakers focusing only on 5G wireless are setting us up to fail. Only aggressive promotion of competitive high-speed wireline infrastructure can ensure that the 68 million Americans ...

Located in upstate New York, the University of Rochester Medical Center has emerged as one of the USA’s premier academic healthcare organizations. A leader in health research, education, patient care, and community outreach, the Medical Center each year hosts over 140,000 admitted patients and over 1,000,000 outpatients. The facilities management team, led by Director of Facility Operations Mark Schwartz, is responsible for managing 5 million square feet (approximately 464,500 square meters) of footprint across the Medical Center’s campus. Such a wide footprint necessitates that our staff is able to handle any kind of potential emergency in order to keep our campus buildings up and running,” said Schwartz. Ample power for a growing infrastructure Limited resources for ensuring power infrastructure reliability in such an environment is a critical success factor. Even though emergency power generators are in place, the core electrical systems have to be depended upon, 24/7. Schwartz ...

Video: How Justus Decher Beat a Patent Troll, With Help From Alice Thousands of patent lawsuits are filed each year, and most of them deal with computer technology and software. Nearly 90 percent of those high-tech patent lawsuits are filed by shell companies that offer the public no products or services whatsoever. These patent-assertion entities, also known as “patent trolls,” simply enrich their owners by extracting money from operating companies. In recent years, the Supreme Court has limited patent venue abuses , made fee-shifting easier , and most importantly, made it easier to throw out bad software patents in its Alice v. CLS Bank decision. Patent troll lawsuits hurt real small businesses owned by regular people, most of whom don’t have the millions of dollars that would be required to defend themselves through a patent trial. We created our “ Saved by Alice ” project to tell their stories—the stories of company founders and entrepreneurs, who were able to keep on inno...
