Regional Development–Wireless Broadband Broadband wireless, people and the economy by Guy J. Kelnhofer III, President and CEO, NextNet Wireless, Inc Asias explosive growth, due partly to its Internet driven integration into the global economy, has fuelled job creation. These high-paying jobs have stimulated the migration of workers to regions with the best essential services and jobs, bringing crowding and overloading the service structures in these regions. These jobs are terrific for economies and people, but threaten traditional family structures and debilitate the local economies of the regions left behind. Wireless Broadband can inexpensively connect these regions and help reverse this decline. Guy Kelnhofer III is President and CEO of NextNet Wireless and serves on the Board of Directors of the Wireless Communications Association. Before joining NextNet, Guy served as chief operating officer at Dataradio COR Ltd., as General Manager, Director of International Sales and Director of International Sourcing at E.F. Johnson Company and as Chief Executive Officer of Medical and Electronic Technology Exporters, Inc. Mr Kelnhofer is a graduate of Nankai University, Tianjin, Peoples Republic of China. Unique problems and opportunities The Asian broadband market is huge and still swiftly growing. Nearly half of the worlds people live in this region, with population growth among the highest in the world. Many Asian economies are booming, bringing with this growth intense needs for Internet accessparticularly broadband access. Clearly, high-speed Internet access is a crucial element in the strategy of Asian businesses. Broadband Internet access enables small firms in Indonesia, for example, to market in Europe or the US effectively. Asian firms with broadband Internet access increase their opportunities to compete in the global marketplace. South Korean residents enjoy one of the highest penetration ratesmore than 60 per centof broadband access in the world. Arguably, its focus on broadband access is a prime component of South Koreas successes in export industries ranging from electronics to automobiles. India is rapidly becoming the hightech outsourcing choice for US and European business. The city of Hyderabad is nearly as well known as Silicon Valley. These opportunities, while exciting, bring problems and disparities to Asian economies and people. Burgeoning growth fuels job creation, happily often in high paying industries. However, most job growth occurs in areas with the best essential services in place; this accelerates the migration of people seeking opportunity to these areas, bringing increased crowding and load upon these services. Rapid influxes of populations to and from cities and frequently within cities, create problems ranging from road crowding to overloaded utility services. Even the delivery of mail is impacted.Local school systems struggle to adapt, with minimal budgets, to exploding student populations. Despite these problems, this type of growth is terrific for economies and people. However, what of those left behind Even in South Korea, where broadband adoption is strong, large portions of the country have little or no broadband access. It is common for large underserved areas to exist within cities, even large cities. This problem is magnified in countries where broadband coverage is less prevalent. What are the human costs for inadequate broadband access This migration of populations disrupts the traditional family units that are so important in Asian cultures. In addition jobs are lost in the underserved neighborhoods and towns left behind. These growth areas and economies may falter. Tax bases drop causing disruption and degradation of essential services. It becomes harder for smaller businesses, which traditional- 36
