NTIA Blog Features Tales from the Front Lines

All this week, the NTIA blog will feature stories about BTOP Partners across the country. From their blog post:

The Broadband Technology Opportunities Program is producing jobs, driving growth, providing tools for economic empowerment and improving lives across the country. That was the takeaway from a recent panel discussion at the annual State of the Net conference held in Washington, D.C. last month. The conference, which is organized by the Advisory Committee to the Congressional Internet Caucus, explores the biggest technology policy issues of the day. This year’s conference included a panel devoted to BTOP, a Recovery Act program administered by NTIA that is investing in roughly 230 projects to increase broadband access and adoption around the country.

Their case studies feature both infrastructure projects and digital inclusion projects like the Communities Connect Network Project.
