Broadband in schools - developing network management standards (UK) http://buildingthegrid.becta.org.uk/index.php?resId=896#res896 Broadband in schools - developing network management standards
Becta is working with UKERNA (United Kingdom Education and Research Networking Association - the UK university network manager), the Regional Broadband Consortia (RBCs) and the Department for Education and Skills (DfES) to ensure that the services schools will require can be delivered over the National Education Network.
Becta is currently working with stakeholders to establish standards that will allow coherent connectivity over the National Education Network. This includes identifying the standards that the regional networks will need to have in place in order to deliver these services effectively.
Broadband Home Central http://www.broadbandhomecentral.com/ Broadband Home Central
The BBH Central Web site is produced by Sandy Teger and Dave Waks and is provided as a resource for the Broadband Home community.
Our focus is residential broadband. We believe that rapid and competitive deployment of broadband to and within the home will enable the creation of new products, services, content and applications. "Fat pipes," content, and the home infrastructure must all work together seamlessly to create compelling value for consumers.
How Convenient is Internet Access in Schools? http://www.elearningeuropa.info/doc.php?lng=1&id=1127&doclng=1 Just How "Convenient" is Internet Access in European Schools?
Europe is well on its way to becoming one of the most digitally literate regions of the world. On average, in our schools there are only 12 pupils per off-line computer and 24 per computer connected to the Internet. In 8 out of 10 European primary and secondary schools, pupils have access to the Internet. However, average numbers do not reveal the whole reality. We should ask ourselves if this situation is really "convenient".

Broadband Internet Definition http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Broadband_Internet Broadband Internet is a general term referring to Internet connections exceeding the abilities of standard analog modems and ISDN connections, i.e. connections with speeds above 128 kilobits per second.
In some countries broadband services operate at over 1 Mbps for connections to private residences, with higher data transfer rates possible for business purposes, but with a correspondingly higher charge.
In the United Kingdom many domestic users have connections either via cable modems, or via ADSL, and these typically run at around 500 kbps. Business users can obtain higher data rates for a higher subscription. In a few of the many areas not served by cable or ADSL, community organisations have begun to install Wi-Fi networks.

NGfL guide to broadband in schools (UK) http://www.ngfl.gov.uk/features.jsp?sec=16&cat=99&res=31615 NGfL guide to broadband in schools (UK)
The Prime Minister announced at the e-Summit on 19 November 2002 that all schools will have broadband internet access by 2006. This NGfL guide explains what broadband is, how it can benefit teaching and learning, and how it will be delivered and funded.
Broadband is the general term used to describe a wide range of technologies that enable high-speed, always-on connections between computers and provide enhanced access to the internet. The additional bandwidth provided by a broadband connection allows value-added, media-rich learning content, connectivity and services to be used by teachers and learners.

Broadband Stakeholder Group (UK) http://buildingthegrid.becta.org.uk/index.php?resId=625#res625 The Broadband Stakeholder Group (BSG) was established to advise the UK government on the development and implementation of a strategy to enable the UK to meet the government's target to have the most extensive and competitive broadband market in the G7 by 2005.
BSG defines broadband as:
Always-on access, at work, at home or on the move provided by a range of fixed line, wireless and satellite technologies to progressively higher bandwidths capable of supporting genuinely new and innovative interactive content, applications and services and the delivery of enhanced public services.
The BSG Education Working Group has been investigating barriers and opportunities for the exploitation of broadband in the education sector.
A report on the opportunities and barriers to the use of broadband in education (in conjunction with the DfES) will be published by February 2003.

Pacing Change http://fno.org/nov00/pacing.html When it comes to networking schools and classrooms, leaders tend to rush things. In the past few years we have asked teachers and students to leave behind the security of unwired classrooms in order to enjoy wired classrooms and global networks. And now we are asking them to adjust once again — this time to wireless classrooms!
