   - Group discussion about the possible study:
The Broadband Culture: What do they think of a Gigabit and how will they 
use it?
College students are probably the largest users of entertainment content 
via high speed networks today.  They also represent the workforce who will 
be bringing their skills and ideas to the marketplace in the near future -- 
continuously. This study will create teams of technology companies in 
conjunction with a defined student community to:
   A) define usability indices which will drive creation and delivery of 
content and content-based tools to this community via the Internet and,
   B) form a collaboration between college students and technical 
professionals in technology and entertainment industries.
