No matter how many forecasts on the future they may venture, these often take into account the destination to be reached and few times the route necessary to reach them.
Everything, from the application of new technologies to geopolitical changes, passes through the most disparate variables which often force us futurologists to revise (generally downwards) the initial estimates.
Let's take the web in Italy: connectivity, user participation, access to e-commerce, the digital divide: how much of what we are still experiencing today would have been predictable even just 3 years ago? In the next year the slowdown in access to broadband will allow countries like Romania and Bulgaria, currently last in the rankings, to overtake us in terms of connectivity. Italy is "the country with the lowest percentage of connections above 10 Mbps, which do not even reach 15% of the total (against a European average of 59,2%): only Cyprus is worse off than us in terms of connections ' broadband'” (I-Com Report 2013).
How can we overcome this state of affairs, if not by resorting to strategic solutions that go beyond current patterns? We ask heaven for help, there could be a way out the so-called satellite internet.
Tooway, for example, already offers services based on a satellite, KA-SAT, placed into orbit with the precise and sole purpose of providing incoming and outgoing connectivity. Whatever the remote village in the mountains or the nuclear-free province, all that All you need is a modem and a satellite dish: to use a system like this you don't even need a telephone line. The costs are now equal to those of a normal ADSL service, the reachability infinitely greater.
High speed Internet for everyone. Satellite ADSL, let's start from here then maybe we'll go back to seeing more "green" in our forecasts. For info you can find everything on this page.
