America's Digital Schools Report, Appendix B |
|
|
In a world where the Internet plays a primary role, schools face some unique challenges as they try to provide adequate Internet access for all students. The budgetary lead time is measured in years. E-Rate, the source of most funding, is capped. The growth in machines and the changing mix of applications are driving dramatic growth in required Internet bandwidth that most school districts and states have not yet predicted.
In fact, few districts and states that the ADS 2006 research team has spoken with can predict the cost of a T-1 line in 2011 or how much bandwidth they expect to need in 2011. All too frequently the response is, “We have a statewide network. We have all the bandwidth we’ll ever need.” Unfortunately, this is likely not to be the case. This appendix provides some background information and sample calculations that illustrate the problems facing schools.
