The Challenge For Arizona

Like water, roads and electricity, in today’s Networked World of anytime/anywhere connectedness, where everyone and everything will be connected, broadband internet access is a critical infrastructure for community development and the health, safety, welfare, educational advancement, and economic prosperity in Arizona communities. Unfortunately, many tribal, rural and other underserved communities in Arizona do not have fast, reliable and affordable broadband access. And many Arizona citizens still do not have the technology and skills to participate effectively in the Networked World.

Enter The Stakeholder Network and Roundtables

​The Network and Roundtable will provide broadband stakeholders opportunities to collaborate on initiatives and strategies to accelerate deployment of affordable and reliable broadband Internet access to all communities in Arizona, and to enable those communities to create opportunities 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; connect their citizens to the world.
​
There are a number of individuals and organizations engaged in initiatives to  promote the expansion of broadband deployment in Arizona. These 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 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. 
Program
​The Roundtable will be presented live and online and will include:
  • Networking and Showcase
  • Keynote Video featuring Tom Wheeler former Chairman of the Federal Communications Commission
