Today’s IIA Academy event, “Broadband 101: Understanding the Debate,” was a huge success. Two great panelists from Cisco Systems, Dr. Robert Pepper and Jeff Campbell, laid out the basic aspects of the current broadband debate, and how those aspects relate to getting this country where it needs to be on broadband—not just for current services, but for enabling whatever innovations are around the corner. And IIA co-founders Bruce Mehlman and Larry Irving helped field questions from a very engaged audience of Congressional staffers, covering topics ranging from impediments to deployment in rural areas to the broadband provisions in the recently passed stimulus legislation.
We will be posting video from the event in the coming days, and will continue to host video, slides, and links from the event on our Academy page.
Thanks to everyone who came to today’s event, and we’ll see you at the next Internet Academy.

IIA is hosting an informational Internet Academy on Wednesday entitled “Broadband 101: Understanding the Debate.” IIA hosts these events on the Hill every few months to inform Congressional staffers and other participants of various internet-related topics like the exaflood or the need for a national broadband strategy. With the massive stimulus package, there is suddenly billions of federal dollars for expanding broadband to underserved areas. Co-Chairs Bruce Mehlman and Larry Irivng, along with colleague Dr. Robert Pepper, will lead a discussion on the various terms and concepts involved in the debate about broadband and hopefully give attendees a better understanding of these issues. If you work on the Hill or can come by, this is definitely something worth attending.
