Broadband for everyone?
Get everyone in US online, high-level panel says
bdpatoday--The Associated Press (AP) reports the nation needs to give the same urgency to
making sure all Americans have broadband access as the Eisenhower
administration did in building an interstate highway system a
half-century ago, a report released last Friday concluded.
The Knight Commission on the Information Needs of Communities in a
Democracy expressed worry about whether the news industry's financial
woes will make for a less educated citizenry and considered whether the
government should prop up independent journalists.
The commission includes two former FCC chairmen, newspaper
publishers, a top Google executive, the NAACP president and a former
CNN president. It concluded that a free flow of information "is as
vital to the healthy functioning of communities as clean air, safe
streets, good schools and public health," and that it's time for
leaders to give it a higher priority.

NAT64
NAT (Network Address Translation or Network Address Translator) is the translation of an Internet Protocol address (IP address) used within one network to a different IP address known within another network.
NAT64 is a proposed mechanism for translating IPv6 packets to IPv4 packets and vice-versa. NAT64 and DNS64, a mechanism for synthesizing AAAA records from A records, will work together to enable client-server and peer-to-peer (P2P) communication
between an IPv6-only client and an IPv4-only server without requiring
any changes to either the IPv6 or the IPv4 node.

About BDPA-DC
NBDPA's Washington, D.C. Chapter was founded in 1978 by Norman Mays. It was incorporated in 1981 as a domestic not-for-profit corporation in the District of Columbia. In February of 1988, Black Data Processing Associates of Washington, D.C. Metropolitan Area (BDPA-DC) became an IRS Section 501(c)(3) Public Charity. Today, BDPA-DC provides professional development services for its members and stakeholders in direct support of local and regional STEM (Science. Technology. Engineering. Math) initiatives. Towards this end, BDPA-DC partners with BDPA Baltimore, BDPA Northern Virginia, and BDPA Richmond to support members and stakeholders within the National Capital Region (NCR) and the Baltimore-Richmond Corridor.
