This IDC Insight describes actions taken by IDC to better understand the position of broadband experts working on behalf of, or directly for, the New England state governments. On December 8, 2011, IDC hosted its first New England Broadband Summit. Attending the Summit were representatives from broadband and telecom organizations in Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Vermont. At the Summit, the broadband representatives discussed plans for fixed and mobile broadband deployment in their respective states. To supplement and frame the discussion, IDC offered insight and guidance from a national market perspective, presenting findings such as technology advancement, mobile infrastructure planning, and broadband application adoption and usage.
