Hi Ginny,
Could you put this on the CS Events Calendar?
Thanks.
Symposium:
Community and Municipal Wireless Systems
Title: Community
and Municipal Wireless Systems
When: Thursday, March 5, 2009 -
4:30 PM - 6:30 PM
Where: Woodrow Wilson School, Robertson
Hall, Bowl 1
The Center is committed to bringing together technologists and policy
scholars around critical issues in the regulation of technology and the use of
technology to achieve policy ends. We have identified the complex set of issues
around community and municipal wireless as an especially important topic, due to
its potential to address issues of equity in access to the Internet and related
technologies, as well as its potential to increase the effectiveness of
municipal services. At the same time, we recognize that wireless projects have
met with mixed success, and that both technical and political/economic issues
remain to be resolved. We hope that this symposium will clarify the state of
play, point to challenges and unanswered questions, and perhaps inspire some
students and younger scholars to take a long-term interest in this
area.
