Engineers, computer scientists, information and communication specialists, political scientists, and other contributors offer an integrated view of applications, business considerations, and technological aspects of delivering broadband services to business, public, and residential users. Broadband here means high-speed, always-on connections. The topics include applications and services to meet society-related needs such as education and medicine, models for public sector involvement in regional and local projects, and backbone optical network design for community networks. Case studies are cited from North America and Europe. Most of the 16 chapters are revised from an international workshop in October 2003 in Dallas, Texas.
