The FCC has announced approximately 20 workshops as one step in development of a national broadband plan. If you are interested in attending one or more of the workshops, you may do so in webinar format. Cisco WebEx software is used as the platform for each webinar. Since several workshops are conducted each day, you may also wish to review the proceedings of the workshops once they are posted. This e-mail simply alerts you that these workshops begin this week and run through early September. The workshop schedule, current on August 9, 2009, is attached for your reference.
