Broadband 2010:
Cultivating a Culture of Use |
|
This year's Blandin Broadband Conference spotlights
communities across Minnesota that are Cultivating a Culture of Use through ARRA broadband funding. Their goal is ambitious - to create technologically and economically vital rural communities, competing and thriving in the broadband economy, with sustainable broadband adoption, job growth and wealth creation.
We will hear from experts, researchers, students and folks in the field who are creating programs to help boost broadband use in their communities. We will also have time and space for attendees to ask questions and tell their stories, and follow up on the work of the Minnesota Ultra High-Speed Broadband Taskforce to answer the question, "Where are we now - one year later?" |
 Keynote by Robert Stephens
Predicting the future is easy. Predicting when it occurs....that's the hard part. Robert Stephens
We're delighted to offer Geek Squad founder Robert Stephens as our keynote speaker this year.
More to come about the focus of his talk. For now, we thought you would enjoy watching this interview, Robert Stephens on Broadband, with Mike O'Connor.
