Cisco siphons $20M into Rural Broadband Innovation Center

The goal of the Cisco Rural Broadband Innovation Center is to provide service providers of any size with access to testing the same level of technologies that support broadband access, says Robin Olds, a business development manager for Cisco's Americas Service Provider group, who joined in on the Light Reading podcast with Zeus Kerravala, founder and principal analyst of ZK Research. The $20 million Center was launched in mid-June under the umbrella of Cisco's Country Digital Acceleration program and will focus on delivering high-speed Internet access to rural areas to lessen the digital divide.
