Higher Education's Role in Crafting a National Broadband Vision

As federal policymakers revisit the Telecommunications Act and shape a national telecommunications plan for the 21st century, the higher education community must remain engaged to ensure that long-term education and research concerns are addressed.

This session will showcase the paper's key principles and objectives and demonstrate why your active involvement is essential in promoting a visionary national broadband policy.
