Wednesday, February 17, 2010 | 4:45PM–5:30PM | Capitol Ballroom F-H
Session Type: Professional Development
The creation of an aggregation point in New Mexico has opened multiple avenues for government, education, research, health care and emergency providers, and economic development by providing alternative options for high-speed data needs and substantial cost savings to members. As a nonprofit organization, Albuquerque Gigapop (ABQG) is dedicated to providing more connectivity options in a large land-area state with a vastly disproportionate population by developing mutually beneficial partnerships. Long-range benefits have been identified that can potentially change the current data delivery model.
