Setting the Table for the National Broadband Plan:
Bridging the Digital Divide

The newest series of the Broadband Breakfast Club continues with a look at the developing National Broadband Plan. What is such a plan likely to resemble? How will it affect deployment, adoption and the use of broadband throughout the United States? How will it affect health care, the environment, the digital divide, and online learning?

Telecommunications advocates, policy-makers, journalists, and top officials seeking to trade insights on these important issue can attend the Broadband Breakfast Club, which includes a full American and Continental breakfast, for as little as $45.00, plus a modest registration fee. The events are on the record and open to the public.

The topic of discussion for this breakfast in the series is:

Tuesday, December 8, 2009, 8 a.m. - Bridging the Digital Divide

Confirmed panelists for this event include:

  • Robert Cornell, Washington Island Electric Cooperative
  • Alan Inouye, Director, Office of Information Technology Policy, American Library Association
  • Karen Archer Perry, Director, Connected Communities Team, Knight Center of Digital Excellence
  • Additional panelists have been invited.

Increasingly, access to broadband is being seen as a civil right. Is the promise of broadband technology truly available to all? What are the best ways to "move the needle" in this country on broadband adoption? What lessons can be learned from other nations' experiences in ameliorating the digital divide?

The event is moderated by Drew Clark, Editor and Executive Director of BroadbandCensus.com. The breakfast begins at 8 a.m., followed by a discussion, beginning shortly after 8:30 a.m. and ending by 10 a.m. Join the conversation for an engaging and in-depth examination of broadband - one of the most vital topics of our day.
