We are not looking at one gigabit per second as the end, but as the beginning.

There is a cyber security arms race underway.

The number of devices is growing rapidly, and communications capacity isn’t going to grow as fast, so we are bound to utilize resources more efficiently.

The broadband platform is the commons of knowledge exchange. One thing that is hindering it today in the United States is bandwidth. We haven’t removed bandwidth as a barrier to innovation.

There are fewer ways of getting wired Internet access today than there were, say, ten years ago. That’s not the direction we thought it would take.

Technology is the enabler. It’s about what people do with devices, the ability to put a device on the network and see what people do with it.
