Infrastructure versus services?
“Broadband for All May Not Be as Urgent as Many Say” says analyst at Gartner Andrea DiMaio. He argues that investments in services should follow any big investment in infrastructure. He concludes that the current emphasis on building infrastructure is only promoting the entertainment-services not the public services that would justify the large public investments.
In a comment to the article I have argued that the emphasis on building infrastructure is still important since this is the a basis for all digital communication.
“If you build it, they will come” may not always be true but i’m sure that the negation “if you Don’t build it, thet will not come” is very true.
On the other hand I agree that there should be more emphasis on putting non-entertainment functionality into the infrastructure. Building digital services should be as important as building the infrastructure.
This will happen, the development of theses type of services comes slower, much slower than the entertainment-services. But when they emerge they will use the infrastructure and they will use the experience and knowledge from those who build the entertainmentservices.
I have been working with public IT for more than 20 years and the delvelopment of it-services during the last 5 years has been incredible, maybe 200 percent more that the 15 early years. I still feel we are moving slowly and I wish I could give a big burst.But thats not have it works, i t takes time. You can build a new service very fast, but the implementation will take time.
But they won’t come if we don’t take good care of the network. The infrastructure must be agile and ready, not old and inadequate.
