Schools Face Need for Greater Technology Infrastructure

As reported in PC World magazine, "The Broadband Imperative" from the Education Group finds that schools will need broadband speeds of 100 Mbps per 1,000 students by the 2014-2015 school year in order to keep pace with growing education technology usage.  That should increase to 1 Gbps by 2017-2018.  The infrastructure growth is necessitated by greater use of digital textbooks and web resources supplementing traditional instructional methods.  The report also calls for greater access for students outside of school.  http://www.pcworld.com/businesscenter/article/255922/education_group_schools_need_100_mbps_per_1000_broadband_users.html
