Answer to Question 1

The arrival of inexpensive broadband shifts the PPF outward as shown by the change from the initial PPF to the new PPF in Figure 3.5 . The intersection of the new PPF along the axis measuring video entertainment increases and the intersection of the new PPF along the axis measuring oth-er goods and services does not change.

Answer to Question 2

It refers to a person's preference of a certain payoff over an uncertain one with the same expected value.
