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.

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.
