September 18.2008 - September 19.2008

Thompson Conference Center , University of Texas-Austin
Austin

These workshops are designed to provide communities, organizations, and businesses in rural America seeking to bring the benefits of broadband to their communities with an opportunity to learn about the resources, programs, and policies of the FCC and USDA. They follow two workshops held earlier this year in Blacksburg, Virginia and Saginaw, Michigan.

The topics to be covered at the workshops include the following: different technology platforms used to provide broadband services, USDA funding for broadband deployment, the Universal Service Fund, the FCC’s Rural Health Care Pilot program, and wireless spectrum access.

The workshop will be held free of charge; however, attendees will be responsible for providing their own transportation, lodging, and meals.

For additional information about the workshop, please visit the FCC's website .
