Current Status, Challenges, and Solutions to Improve Wired/Wireless
Fixed/Mobile Broadband Internet
Abstract
In this paper, we raise five questions about the Internet, which
are: What are the positive and negative effects of broadband Internet?
Which type of Internet access is preferable? Which one of them needs
more attention? How much and what kind of developments affect the
Internet? What solutions are there to improve the current situation? and
find solutions for them. First, fourteen advantages and positive effects
of broadband Internet in every corner of life are presented. Second,
fifty criteria are extracted for comparing wired and wireless broadband
Internet. The third task, they are compared by describing the
characteristics of optical fiber-based fixed and fifth-generation-based
fixed/mobile broadband Internet access. Fourth, issues that directly
and/or indirectly affect the global development of broadband Internet
are outlined. The fifth task elicits twenty items on balanced
sustainable development and strategic planning of broadband Internet.
Finally, we propose ten solutions to improve the current state of global
broadband Internet, reduce the digital divide in the world, and decrease
the negative social effects of broadband Internet.
