California Broadband Task Force Releases Final Report

Russ Steele

Steve Monaghan who was on the CBTF Economic Working Group forwarded this link to me this morning: http://www.calink.ca.gov/taskforcereport/

This is from the Executive Summary:

The CBTF adopted three key goals:
• California must ensure ubiquitous and affordable broadband infrastructure, made available through a variety of technologies to all Californians.

• California must drive the creation and use of applications that produce the greatest economic, educational, and social benefits for California’s economy and communities.

• California must construct next-generation broadband infrastructure, positioning California as the global economic leader in a knowledge-based economy.

There is a lot of information to digest, I will comment as I read the report. Check out the graphics on broadband availability, it looks like part of Nevada County was left out. We are not in the Northern Counties or the Mother Load Counties. In my quick review, it look like we got left on the editing room floor.
