The ITU’s Broadband Commission has rejected the future of Stupid Networks<\/a>.

It should be recognized that intelligently-managed state-of-the-art broadband infrastructure is the prerequisite for future new content services and applications. Without such infrastructure, which needs to be financed adequately by the users and end-users (eg, customers and anyone offering services and applications over the Internet), there will be no possibility for sustainable growth in data and Internet usage.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

A comment<\/a> on my Wednesday post<\/a> referred to “the tsunami of disruption”, also known as “open internet-driven innovation over dumb pipes.”<\/p>\n

But the ITU Broadband Commission’s report, delivered last weekend to the United Nations Millenium Development Goals project, has a different perspective. It says that:<\/p>\n

Higher capacity access to the Internet provides a platform for a wider range of applications so it is implicit that investments in such capacity can benefit and reward innovative and creative ideas for applications. Those who invest in communications capacity are not necessarily those who may benefit from applications and services, so innovative mechanisms need to be found to ensure that broadband deployment is not stalled through lack of investment.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
