What Is Your Priority for the Incoming Obama CTO: Tom Foremski Says WiMAX

posted by Alison Wesley on January 09, 2009

Tom Foremski's blog in SV Watcher discusses why he thinks WiMAX should be a priority for the incoming CTO in the Obama administration.

He says: "WiMAX is one of the technologies that can ... help break the duopoly control of the telcos and cable operators on consumer Internet access. More competition and faster Internet connections will contribute to a strong digital economy.

According to an Intel sponsored survey,41.7 percent of respondents to date believe the top priority should be federal initiatives that expedite the roll-out of wireless broadband technologies across entire cities.

Vote through next Tuesday to tell us what you think is the top priority for the new CTO in the area of broadband Intenet access. 

As I said in my blog earlier this week, Intel CTO Justin Rattner is conducting this survey on the top issues for the incoming CTO and will incorporate the results into a letter he will send to the new Obama CTO. 

The survey focuses on technology and broadband Internet access, education, environment and healthcare.

Make your voice heard and tell us what do you think.
