Just over one week from today, Tuesday, September 22 at 11:00AM, we're hosting an online forum on the state and local government and the developing plan for a national broadband strategy.
Former Virginia Secretary of Eugene Huang is now the Director of Government Operations for the FCC's National Broadband Task Force. He has roughly 155 days to finish the National Broadband Plan under a deadline imposed by Congress as part of ARRA.
Huang is looking for state and local government input on the issues of (a) operational efficiencies in government operations, (b) new initiatives such as telehealth and the smart grid, and (c) citizen engagement.
We've assembled an ad hoc kitchen cabinet for him for the day:
We're holding time for your questions so hold the day, log in and call in.
Huang and his team are blogging at broadband.gov, where you also find a repository of the collected policy comments and a video archive of its round table meetings. It would be a good place to see where the conversation started and then join in the discussion during the webinar. Register here for the webinar. It is an important moment in the development of a national broadband strategy. Be part of it.
