Getting GIO Organized

Thu, 04 May 2006 13:53:03 -0500

Much is going on, and we need to be organized if the cause of Getting Illinois Online is to gain traction.

The Digital Literacy Act of 2006, with prospects of funding the program at $8 Million for 2007 fell far short of this goal.

Many localities are deploying networks, and the City of Chicago is set to issue a WiFi RFP, soon.

The Congress is debating Network Neutrality and Inter-Modal competition.

We need to voice our perspectives on each front, as each front is part of the puzzle of Getting Illinois Online.

What do we need to get organized? We need some assistance in site development and formation of policy statement. We also need your voice to be heard, and to share in a common discussion.
