"Broadband is the transmission of high-quality data of wide bandwidth. In its <br /> simplest form, it is a high-speed internet connection that is always on. Broadband <br /> connections include Wi-Fi, DSLs, fiber, and satellites." <br /> Taken from this <br /> site:https://www.investopedia.com/terms/b/broadband.asp <br /> Broadband will always be on. The county has NOT researched the health risks of this. <br /> 30.2 Develop and support a program of free, public-use broadband services at <br /> appropriate County-owned facilities, mass transit facilities, and other community <br /> anchor institutions. <br /> What do they mean by "community anchor institutions"? What kind of institution do <br /> they want to create? <br /> 30.12 Plan for broadband infrastructure to support smart grid <br /> development <br /> The county doesn't mention wanting to turn the Big Island into a Smart City, and <br /> implementing a Smart Grid is the first step in this process. <br /> https://smartgrid.ieee.org/resources?cafid=O&id=223 <br /> "A smart grid alone does three things. First, it modernizes power systems through <br /> self-healing designs, automation, remote monitoring and control... Thus, a smart grid <br /> sits at the heart of the smart city, which cannot fully exist without it". <br /> Also, a Smart Grid will allow them to have more control through "remote <br /> monitoring," which will fully take our privacy away. <br /> Smart Grid Info: <br /> https://minnovation.com.au/smart-cities-2/disadvantages-of- <br /> smart-cities-potential-chat lenses-and-concerns/ <br /> "Privacy and Data Security: <br /> Smart cities rely heavily on the collection and analysis of vast amounts of data from <br /> sensors, cameras, and connected devices. This data is crucial for optimizing city <br /> operations and services. However, the extensive data gathering raises concerns <br /> about privacy infringement and data security. Citizens worry about their personal <br /> information being accessed or misused." <br /> What are Smart Grids and Smart Cities? The county does not explain this in the <br /> 6 <br />
