Broadband & Telecommuting/Teleconferencing

The average teleworker saves 62 hours in commuting time $1,201 in commuting costs and 1,751 pounds of emissions not dispersed

into the environment. - Telework Exchange Study, March 11th, 2008

SAVES: 600M Tons & 199.8M Tons

Office-to-office teleconferencing applications have fundamentally changed. And new broadband speeds allow workers to have a real virtual

presence from home too. For example, in 2007, Verizon began offering FiOS symmetrical internet access with speeds up to 20/20 megs.

Broadband & Paperless Downloads

If 50% of the 2.5 billion DVD’s and VHS tapes rented per year were delivered via Video on Demand, it would reduce

energy equivalent to the annual electricity consumption of about 200,000 households.

- Consumer Electronics Association Study, 2007

In today’s fast-paced world, consumers won’t wait. With new broadband speeds, they don’t have to.

Downloading music, video, books now saves time and energy.
