Broadband Plan Comes Into Focus

John Eggerton -- Broadcasting & Cable, writes:
After some details started slipping out, the FCC eased an embargo on its long-awaited Broadband Plan on March 15, a day ahead of its scheduled unveiling at the commission's monthly public meeting and two days before its delivery to Congress.

Entitled Connect America: The National Broadband Plan, the plan calls for an ambitious refocus on broadband as the medium of choice for information delivery in the new millennium. That includes getting affordable broadband to everyone and high-speed access to at least 100 million households by 2020, including using half of broadcasters spectrum for wireless broadband by 2015.

It could also mean a national framework for taxing online goods and services, and getting a better handle on current broadband speeds and service by new standards and online metrics like dashboards.

If you're a producer, you've probably seen our new technical requirements for submitting videos to WCCA. The major change is that we want everything on DVD. One piece we originally left out was aspect ratio, whether or not your video is widescreen. The short version is we cannot accept widescreen DVDs and producers need to convert widescreen programming to fit on a standard screen.
