Aims: / In the first stage of this project the participants shall get an idea, how the broadband access is realized in European regions similar to the rural district of Nordhausen. The students examine for this purpose economic, social and technical aspects of this urgent task. The second stage of the project will result in an integrated concept draft that makes concrete suggestions how rural districts could solve this problem on their own.
Content:
Delivery methods: / Versatile cross-border data steams of the internet have crucial importance in the 21st century for the development of economy and society. It adopts essential functions in the everyday life. The unlimited access to broadband services like www, email or VoLP provide individuals benefit from the “social networking” – factor and unlimited access to information. Rural regions with a weak broadband infrastructure are structural disadvantaged in the global challenge. This project comes forward with a proposal how rural regions could solve this arising issue.
The scope will be approached by short lectures combined with phases of multidisciplinary intergroup development. A group of business/engineering/social students would fit best to work on the topic and present the result of the project on Friday 15th.
