> This report has been commissioned by the Corporation for Education Network 
> Initiatives in California (CENIC). The State of California has awarded a 
> grant to CENIC to focus on speeding one-gigabit broadband to all 
> Californians by 2010, or in California shorthand, One Gigabit or Bust. 
> CENIC engaged Gartner to evaluate the economic potential of an 
> acceleration of next generation broadband deployment in California. In 
> addition, Gartner was asked to interview many of the top broadband 
> thinkers, policy makers and consumer advocates within California and 
> throughout the Unite States with a view toward understanding the 
> opportunities and challenges a next generation broadband initiative in 
> California might face.
