Research

research overview

  • Dr. Reed's research is focused on Internet and telecommunications technology, policy, and network economics. His work applies interdisciplinary research methods to examine the evolution of public and private telecommunications infrastructure to advanced wireless and wireline broadband platforms and the resulting implications on business strategy and public policy. Examples of his current research include 1) characterizing the performance of broadband access services for the Internet based on measurements of speed, latency, and reliability, 2) estimating the costs of wireline and wireless broadband local access network technologies in order to better understand the prospects for competition in the provision of broadband Internet access services, 3) developing broadband roadmaps to address the Digital Divide and for emerging countries, and 4) developing efficient spectrum management models to support broadband deployments.

Teaching

courses taught

  • ATLS 5519 - Adv Topics
    Primary Instructor - Summer 2020
    Analyzes special interest areas of multidisciplinary creative technologies and design research and practice. May be repeated up to 9 total credit hours for different topics.
  • CSCA 5433 - When to Regulate? The Digital Divide and Net Neutrality
    Primary Instructor - Summer 2024 / Fall 2024
    This is the first of three courses exploring Internet Policy: Principles and Problems, which is part of CU Boulder�s Masters of Science in Data Science and Master of Science in Computer Science programs on Coursera. This course builds an interdisciplinary policy framework to critique and develop regulatory approaches to real-world problems on the Internet. Learners then use the framework to develop a definition of broadband to improve the Digital Divide and to evaluate net neutrality regulations. Same as DTSA 5736.
  • CYBR 4400 - Principles of Internet Policy
    Primary Instructor - Fall 2019 / Spring 2020 / Fall 2020
    Engage in the critical strategic analysis and debate of controversial public policy issues raised by the Internet. Learn how to develop well-reasoned positions on the regulations applied to new Internet-based technologies and business models based on interdisciplinary frameworks that characterize the significant intersection of technology, economics, business, and public policy. Policy topics covered include Broadband as a Universal Service, Net Neutrality, Spectrum Management, Online Privacy, and Cybersecurity.
  • CYBR 5010 - Fundamentals of Data Communication
    Primary Instructor - Spring 2020 / Fall 2020 / Spring 2021 / Fall 2021 / Spring 2022
    Combining conceptual knowledge about data communications and core Internet technologies with hands-on labs that reinforce the conceptual knowledge, this course provides students with the ability to create innovative technology solutions in their discipline. Learning how the Internet works and being able to evaluate and operate an Internet network is a valuable skill; students in this course will have a competitive advantage in this foundational field. Same as CSCI 5010.
