Blacksburg Virginia is holding a community-wide event on Saturday
March 19, for citizens of our Town to get together and discuss the
Town's new Vision for Gigabit Broadband by 2015 (see
http://broadband2015.bev.net/TOBBroadVisionFinal.pdf ).
We will have exhibits by our local telecom providers so that citizens
have a chance to let them know of their interest in advanced broadband
services to our neighborhoods, schools, and businesses. We will also
have presentations from members of the community who will talk about
innovative uses of broadband in their daily lives as family members
caring for elderly or home-bound relatives; business owners; artists;
educators; and entrepreneurs.
There has been tremendous excitement in the community about this
event. You can learn more by going to
