South Carolina ETV

Why is EBS important?

All of us in state government are asked to focus on maximum impact, getting the most from our assets, by becoming entrepreneurial and looking for ways to earn income. ETV’s entry into the world of EBS is a terrific example of that.

More and more, educational content is becoming Web-based. For example, instead of broadcasting on educational TV, videos are now streamed by ETV over the Internet to the classroom. The Internet is more interactive and accountable, which empowers the learner and helps instructors evaluate for success.

Educational broadband can provide learners access to content without being tethered to a cable.

The South Carolina Chamber of Commerce has said, "...that wireless broadband will have a tremendous impact on our state's economy...Advanced communications will help increase productivity and per capita income in these areas by creating a high-quality workforce necessary to support a knowledge-based, growth economy."
