Invitation to View Webcast on 1/26 to Discuss Rural Telecom Issues
Message Posted January 8, 2001

On Friday, January 26 from 9:30 a.m. to noon, the Pennsylvania Rural Development Council will host a live webcast to discuss the rural Digital Divide and other rural telecommunications issues. While the topics are not education-specific, they may be of interest to Pennsylvania's schools and libraries, particularly those located in rural communities.

Topics:

* Presentation and Update on infrastructure deployment throughout rural PA, including the state Telecommunications Contract

* Discussion by a rural community on how they implemented a community technology solution
* Discussion on Resources and Technical Assistance Available to Rural Communities

The Webcast will be accessible by visiting the Council's website at www.ruralpa.state.pa.us

If you have not viewed a webcast before, you will need to download the appropriate software which will be available free on the Council's website www.ruralpa.state.pa.us. It is recommended that you download and test the site in advance.

You may choose to view the webcast from your own computer or you may join the Council and its partners at one of the local viewing sites throughout PA listed below.

If you would intend to view the webcast from one of the local viewing sites, please e-mail Joyce at ruralpa@state.pa.us with the following information:
