 Agenda

Frequently Asked Questions

The goal of this workshop is to evaluate how broadband can improve the  
performance of government specifically in terms of transparency and  
citizen participation and more generally in terms of effectiveness and  
efficiency. The workshop will consider various ways all levels of  
government, as well as governments in other countries, have used  
broadband to improve its performance in these ways and how those  
lessons might apply for purposes of developing the national broadband  
plan. The workshop will also consider the potential benefits of  
universal broadband in enabling various government operations to move  
to a digital platform in terms of improved performance, cost savings,  
and strategic benefits to the communications infrastructure.
