| Indians use broadband to reach fans Posted: 28 Jun 2010 09:55 AM PDT  Chris PughConnect Ohio The Cleveland Indians are using a new section of seats with Wi-Fi connections to reach out to fans who want to blog, Facebook and Tweet during games this season at Progressive Field. "We knew that with our fan base being what it is, and for as many as our fans being in the space, we needed to engage with them in a positive manner," Curtis Danburg, Indians director of communications and creative services, told an ESPN reporter, "to reconnect with fans, or to connect to a new generation with fans that are into social media." The deck is a new effort to ramp up the team's social media presence and Indians public relations staff member Robert Campbell said the team has been pleased with the response so far. "The Tribe Social Deck is the physical component of our social media presence," he said. "It affords attendees the opportunity to not only watch a game live but also network with members of their digital community; often providing attendees the first time to shake hands with someone they had been conversing with for months online." Campbell also said in-season updates have included the installation of Wi-Fi connectivity and the addition of high-definition television.

| Discover the benefits of telecommuting through broadband Posted: 28 Jun 2010 07:46 AM PDT Telecommuting can provide new opportunities for the American workforce, but to do so, home broadband availability is a must. With unemployment rates among the highest they have ever been, telecommuting could provide many of the unemployed an opportunity to make a living again. About 17.5 million Americans who do not currently work would join the country's workforce if given the opportunity to telecommute through a broadband connection. The benefits of telecommuting are endless. Not only does telecommuting create jobs and reduce the overhead of operating costs, it even reduces the carbon footprint. And with fewer people driving into work, there will be less cars on the freeway to create traffic jams during the mad rush to the office. Instead of spending time in the car, employees can even get a head start on projects and get more things accomplished daily. Nationally, telecommuters save an estimated $5.7 billion annually in fuel alone. Such a reduction in fuel consumption will significantly contribute to the national goal of energy independence.
