The absence of a public policy forum on the wider uses of information and communication technologies (ICT) is greatly undermining the pre requisites to advancing the American economy in the global information age. Albert Einstein is attributed with having observed "...that the significant problems of today cannot be addressed with the same level of awareness used to create them" While many American's have become knowledge workers and "goods" and "services" are produced in cyberspace, our public policies regarding improving access to "work" are solely through the continued development of roads and transportation systems with no effort or resources used to capitalize on the vastly growing arsenal of ICT tools. While we develop more highways to better transport workers across our crowded and polluted metropolitan areas, jobs are being redirected, using American built broadband telecommunication services, to other parts of the globe. The 2002 United Nations and World Bank report on Auto Emissions stated that there are three methods of access: transportation, proximity and telecommunications. Transportation is the most expensive and damaging, telecommunications is the least utilized. ICT infrastructure has the ability today to provide more rapid (1 - 3 years) expansion of access than longer range transportation alternatives (7 to 12 years. Because we lack any forum for the public benefit of broadband development, we are missing the opportunity of using the tools created by Americans but benefiting the rest of the world.
