Posted on Jul 17 2011
One Economy, CNMI Department of Commerce, BroadMap LLC, and the New America Foundation will be conducting its final series of town hall meetings to understand residents’ attitudes toward broadband.
The program is part of an initiative of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act to develop and maintain a comprehensive, interactive, and searchable nationwide map of existing broadband capability and availability throughout each state or territory.
In addition, One Economy aims to improve broadband adoption in CNMI by better understanding the barriers to adopting broadband that residents may face.
The village/townhall meetings in July are scheduled on the following dates:
-Tuesday, July 19, 2011, 6pm at the Koblerville Elementary School cafeteria
-Monday, July 25, 2011, 6pm at the San Antonio Elementary School cafeteria
-Tuesday, July 26, 2011, 6pm at the Garapan Elementary School cafeteria
The public’s attendance and participation in this community engagement will help map Internet access, usage and attitudes. Refreshments will be served.
