The Oregon Public Utility Commission (OPUC) and OneEconomy are hosting a series of Community Broadband Summits (CBS) to gather information about broadband adoption and technology in communities throughout Oregon. OneEconomy is a global non-profit organization that has been working closely with the OPUC, Oregon Broadband Advisory Council and other groups to develop the Oregon Broadband Mapping Project which we wrote about in February this year. The information collected throughout the CBS process and from communities throughout the state will help strengthen the current state broadband map and the direction for broadband growth in Oregon.
The summits are open public forums aiming to discuss the role and use of broadband in our communities with special focus on telehealth, energy management, education and government applications. Forums have already been held in Astoria, Portland, The Dalles, Salem, Eugene, Coos Bay, Medford and Klamath Falls. The CBS travels to Warm Springs on Monday and events are scheduled for Bend, Burns, Pendleton, Enterprise, Ontario and Grand Ronde between June 22nd and July 6th.
Additional information is available through the toll-free hotline 855-858-0937.
