subject: Wimax For Job Creation And Economic Development- Aarkstore Enterprise [print this page] The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 allocates $4 billion for the BTOP for which job creation and economic development are key components. How will grant writers explain the connection between broadband, job creation and economic development?
This paper provides detailed explanations on the connections between WiMAX and applications that make industry verticals more efficient. Those projects alone create jobs while driving economic development.
Key Findings:
Job creation is at the heart of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. Public investments in broadband technology provide for immediate job creation but what about WiMAX applications that make industry verticals more efficient? The deployment of those networks creates jobs as does the integration of WiMAX into those industry verticals such as banking, retail, banking, construction, agriculture and transportation.
The "killer app" of WiMAX is anything that can make an industry more efficient. This paper explores specific applications for specific industries and is intended to provoke thought with BTOP grant applicants as to WiMAX applications that will make their WiMAX network sustainable.
