The economic stimulus creates the opportunity for rural communities to connect through broadband. The Knoght Center for Digital Excellence is taking a lead role in pushing out useful information on how to move forward. As the head of the Center notes:
Now, the promise of federal stimulus money presents a historic opportunity for communities to come together in old-fashioned, roundtable discussions to talk about how technology and innovation can change the future of community life.
Our team leaders at the Knight Center of Digital Excellence are seeing it firsthand. There is a spark — an energy — emerging in town discussions in communities across America. Through the federal stimulus plan, we have unprecedented investment capabilities. As people in communities come together to talk about new possibilities, they understand that broadband — and the high-speed communication it enables — is critical to succeeding in the new economy. The stimulus is driving communities to make a plan, and once they do, momentum can build for bold, catalytic projects.
