Why Should You Should Attend?

Arizona Rural Tour January 27, 28, 29, 2020

The FCC, Federal Communications Commission, is planning a Rural Tour of Arizona to build partnerships with local consumer groups and to hear directly from consumers about their telecommunication concerns.
​
​In cities and towns along the way, the FCC team of consumer education specialists will meet with community leaders and groups to share information and resources about current telecommunication issues, including robocalls, spoofing and phone scams.

FCC officials will be there to answer your questions and help address telecommunication issues you may have. This includes questions such as: 

• Are you getting too many illegal unwanted robocalls at all hours of the day and night
• Are you receiving scam calls?  
• Is your phone bill confusing and seeming written in some other language?  
• How can you be sure not to lose your favorite television stations after the upcoming broadcast transition?  
• How do you make your voice heard regarding telecommunications and broadcasting issues?  

This is a great opportunity to meet with representatives from the FCC.

 About the Arizona Broadband Stakeholder Network
ATIC, the Arizona Telecommunications and Information Council, and GAZEL, the Greater Arizona Educational Leadership organization are leading the development and coordination of AZBSN, the Arizona Broadband Stakeholder Network. We are collaborating with our many partners such as the Arizona Technology In Education Association, the Arizona State Library, the Arizona Telemedicine Program, the Arizona Technology Council, and the City Of Cottonwood, as well as other government, education, nonprofit organizations and technology providers.

The Network provides Arizona public, private and nonprofit stakeholders opportunities to collaborate on initiatives and strategies to accelerate deployment of affordable and reliable Broadband Internet access in communities throughout Arizona, and to enable those communities to utilize those connections to: support 21st Century education, create jobs and support economic development; train a 21st century workforce; enhance public safety and health care and; connect their citizens to the world.

Stakeholders will come together to build a constituency and enable collaboration, coordination, information sharing and communication. They will learn something new, share what they know, make connections with other collaborators, find resources and help for their initiatives, and hear about and provide updates on federal, state and local initiatives in Arizona.

The Network may lead to collaborative projects, development of joint grant applications, sharing of funding opportunities and other resources, aggregation of demand at the state and local level, policy discussions and recommendations, etc. ​

In cooperation with other business, government, education ​​and community organizations
