Environmental Improvements Resulting from the Use of Broadband Tech
Potential impact of changes stemming from the delivery of broadband is estimated to be an incremental reduction of more than 1 billion tons of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions over 10 years
Broadband...
Batteries
Telephones
From dream... ... to reality
Brazil 2011 ~ 195 mi peopleThe United Nations Environment Program (UNEP) estimates that some 20 to 50 million tons of e-waste is generated worldwide annually.
In the past, telecommunications have little impact on the natural environment
Currently, the environmental impact is very important.
By the end of 2008, the number of mobile phone subscriptions was five times the number of fixed telephone lines
Batteries
Telephones
Environmental effects from operation and production, as well as from the end-of-life treatment of telecommunication equipment, have become increasingly serious issues.
Broadband Negative Impact
The amount of WEEEs and RoHS has increased very fast, stressing a serious industrial and social control needs.
