Unpacking the Data Dilemma

As the US pushes for a TikTok ban and the EU leads the way in data privacy regulation, experts warn that overly restrictive policies might inadvertently stifle innovation and economic growth.

The heavy cost of symmetrical broadband speeds (with Richard Bennett)

As the pandemic has shifted work, education, and entertainment online, there is a growing appetite in Washington to enhance broadband access across the country. However, some members of Congress and the current administration have advocated for ramping up broadband speeds to a symmetrical 100 megabits per second both upstream and downstream (known as 100/100). Where is the push for this new standard coming from, and what would it mean for the average consumer? Richard Bennett, founder of High Tech Forum and a co-creator of Wi-Fi, returns to the podcast to explain how 100/100 would burden consumers and fail to connect more Americans to the internet. He and Shane discuss Joe Biden’s infrastructure plan, the digital divide, and more on this episode of “Explain to Shane.”

What Has Been Done to Address Online Lag? (with Jason Livingood)

While the internet has improved monumentally since its early days of bandwidth restrictions and dial-up, customers are more demanding of the network and have little patience for latency on any of their devices. What causes these interruptions to our usually consistent high-speed streams? Latency, or lag. On today’s episode of Explain to Shane, Comcast's Vice President for Technology Policy, Products, and Standards, Jason Livingood, dives into what is being done to solve this challenge. Jason has spent his career addressing the internet’s emerging challenges: he's been a pivotal figure in promoting ultra-low latency networking and directing R&D through the Comcast Innovation Fund. He’s also served twice on the FCC’s Technical Advisory Committee and has spent 16 years on the Member Advisory Board of the Internet Society. Jason will shed light on why latency has become a critical factor for internet users and discuss the steps being taken by Comcast ahead of high-demand streaming events like this summer’s Paris Olympics.
