Setting the Table for the National Broadband Plan: The Environment
Tuesday, November 10, 2009 from 8:00 AM - 10:00 AM (ET)
Setting the Table for the National Broadband Plan:
The Environment
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, November 10, 2009, 8 a.m. - The Environment and Telecommuting
How carbon-positive a technology is broadband? What's keeping telecommuting from being more widely adopted as a technology? What are the other "green" benefits of broadband communication, and how can the National Broadband Plan best encourage them?
Panelists for the event include:
- Jennifer Alcott, Telework!VA Program Manager, Commonwealth of Virginia
- Donald L. Thoma, Executive Vice President Marketing, Iridium
- Kevin Moss, Head of Corporate Social Responsibility, BT Americas
- Steven Ruth, Professor, George Mason University School of Public Policy
- Additional panelists have been invited
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.
