Heads on January Newsletter
by Glenn McKnight Jan. 9, 2018

Jan. 9, 2018

Hi I have completed two cycles of the newsletter as an interim editor, I am waiting for Shelley to step on the newsletter but in her absence I am crafting the next newsletter and looking to the community for your news. As the interim editor I think it important to have an article on ICANN policy issues and I have requested this to the two ALAC members of NARALO. Please note that the article doesn't have to be long. It just needs to showcase the relevance of the policy item in discussion. As usual the deadline of community stories will be January 27th. I return then from the IGF Trinidad and will continue work on any submissions. If you have pictures or graphics please send them also. Thanks Glenn McKnight NARALO Secretariat mcknight.glenn(a)gmail.com skype gmcknight twitter gmcknight 289-830 6259 .

The FCC, Net Neutrality, and What's Ahead
by Alfredo Calderon Jan. 4, 2018

Jan. 4, 2018

For your information. The FCC voted a few weeks ago to adopt an Order that would eliminate Net Neutrality rules (which classified broadband as Title II and established rules that would prohibit blocking content, throttling speeds, and paid prioritization). The policy brief provided via the link below reviews the new Order and discusses responses from legislators, states, and others.

NTIA Recommends Improvements to the FCC’s Broadband Data Collection
by Alfredo Calderon Jan. 3, 2018

Jan. 3, 2018

FYI. _______ *NTIA Recommends Improvements to the FCC’s Broadband Data Collection* Dear Data Users: NTIA relies on sound data to understand the state of communications and information use in the United States, and to develop policies that promote robust broadband services across the country. Our Digital Nation research <https://nam03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fntia.doc.…> and other initiatives have been complemented in recent years by the Federal Communications Commission’s Form 477 data program. Broadband providers complete Form 477 to report where they offer service, as well what speeds they offer and the technologies they use, among other information. Today, in response to the FCC seeking ideas for how to improve its Form 477 data collection, NTIA filed comments recommending specific measures the FCC can take to enhance the program. | Read more >> <https://nam03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ntia.…> In the filing, NTIA recommends improvements to two aspects of the Form 477 program. First, the FCC should bolster the accuracy of the broadband availability data. We recommend that the FCC implement a data validation program, and suggest looking to NTIA’s previous work on the State Broadband Initiative <https://nam03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww2.ntia…>, as well as the ongoing practices of various state programs, for examples of how it might verify broadband availability data. Second, the FCC could increase the accessibility of Form 477 data by making more information available and usable by a wider audience. In particular, we urge the FCC to begin updating the National Broadband Map <https://nam03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.broad…>—or alternatively, provide a similarly full-featured successor—with the most recent data from Form 477. |View NTIA’s Comments >> <https://nam03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ntia.…> We applaud the FCC for its great work to date on the Form 477 program, as well as its efforts to make further improvements. Data from Form 477 form a critical piece of the larger Federal broadband data puzzle, and we hope our recommendations will influence enhancements that drive cutting-edge research and data-driven policymaking aimed at enabling all Americans to fully participate in the digital economy.
