We're going on a field trip Thursday...

Instead of meeting in Sturm, we're going to attend this panel on broadband access at Denver Open Media on Thursday. There is a panel from 2:30-3 on the development of broadband access projects supported by the Federal Government stimulus plan.
So we'll meet at the DOM studio--700 Kalamath/7th by 2:30. We'll talk details in class.

You are Invited to a Panel and Discussion Sponsored by Open Media
Foundation, Colorado Common Cause, and the Media and Democracy
Coalition:

“Bringing Universal Broadband to Colorado”
Thursday, January 28, 2010, 1-3 p.m.
The Studios of Denver Open Media, Denver, CO


Forty years after the invention of the Internet in the United States,
many regions of our country do not have access to affordable,
accessible broadband Internet. What was once a luxury service is more
and more indispensable to our lives – like a utility, like electricity
or water.

Please come to hear about plans to assure lower rates and fast service
for all Coloradans, and hear from the community organizations that are
working to make this vision happen through the federal broadband
programs.


Presenters:

Denise Atkinson-Shorey, Centennial Board of Cooperative Educational Services
Ken Fellman, President of the National Association of
Telecommunications Officers and Advisors
John Conley, Office of the Governor’s Office of Technology
Tony Shawcross, Executive Director of the Open Media Foundation
(more to be added)
