DESCRIPTION:Broadband Progress: Where we are\, and strategies for making the case. \nBroadband Progress: Where we are\, and strategies for making the case. In this webinar\, MTUG features a legislative and programmatic update on broadband expansion in Maine from two of Maine’s frontline advocates\, Peggy Schaffer of the ConnectME Authority and Nick Battista of the Island Institute\, both of whom also serve on the advisory committee for the Maine Broadband Coalition. \nPeggy and Nick briefly present the array of programs in place for improving broadband access statewide\, how communities can engage them\, and the legislative pipeline that may help (or hinder) progress. The speakers also discuss case studies of how some communities have engaged these efforts to introduce or improve high speed internet access\, and the impact it has had. \nLastly\, speakers cover the points that technology leaders can make in their effort to improve broadband access for their operations\, their employees\, and their customers. \nWant to help out with mapping Broadband in your area?\nCurious about the reported service in other communities?\nLink to spreadsheets of unserved and MLAB test site for reporting broadband speed:\nhttps://www.maine.gov/connectme/communities-resources/Broadbandmapping \nCheck out upcoming important Maine Broadband-related events coming soon – listed at MaineBroadbandCoalition.org \n\nThurs.
