Bringing Universal Broadband to Colorado

Panel and Discussion Sponsored by Open Media Foundation &
Media & Democracy Coalition
Thursday, January 28, 2010, 1-3 p.m.

Forty-one 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:

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

Panels will also be live on Channel 56 and rebroadcast on 57 and 219 (digital tier).
