ATIC Strategy Committee has been busy meeting virtually and also held an extended strategic planning session on April 22 for regional broadband stakeholders. We are recommending the creation of an Arizona Broadband Council (ABC) consisting of public and private stakeholders to provide management and oversight of broadband development in Arizona and are working with the Governor’s Office and GITA to make it happen.  ATIC has filed formal comments in response to the FCC Notice of Inquiry in the matter of a National Broadband Plan for Our Future. ATIC is also forming a Network and Broadband Provider Committee to focus on private sector issues in the Telecommunications industry in Arizona. Additionally, ATIC has launched a new Arizona Telecommunications & Information Institute (ATI Institute) as a separate and distinct 501(c)(3) non-profit under a research and education classification to pursue specific initiatives championed by various coalitions providing oversight and fiscal management. If you’d like to be involved, please visit our homepage and subscribe to the ATIC-Strategy List for conducting the business of the Strategy Committee and related dialogue among participants and our ATIC-Policy List for postings of technology and telecommunications policy news.

ATIC now in its 14th year, would like to thank the following companies for continuing with their major sponsorship of the organization: Cox Business Services (CBS - http://www.coxbusiness.com/systems/az_phoenix/), Lewis and Roca (http://www.lrlaw.com/), Qwest Communications (http://www.qwest.com/), and WI-VOD Corporation (http://www.wi-vod.com/).
