Workshop Statement

The U.S. is falling ever further behind other nations with regard to broadband development and its related social, environmental, educational and economic opportunities. The opportunity is at hand for communities, institutions and business partners to take shared responsibility for fulfilling the promise of becoming content-rich, economically vital, quality-of-life enhancing, broadband-based ‘information societies’. This workshop will highlight open broadband initiatives in New Mexico, and will involve the audience in a general discussion of open networking.
