On Wednesday, July 30th at 11:00am there will be a briefing from the Mayor’s Office and iamond Consultants for the Broadband Advisory Committee regarding the Bloomberg administration’s plans for bridging the digital divide in New York City.
The Broadband Advisory Committee was established in 2005 with the passage of Introduction 25-A creating a joint public broadband commission to advise the Mayor and the City Council of New York on how the resources of City government can be used to stimulate the private market so that residents and businesses of New York City have more options in terms of high-speed internet access. The goal of the committee is to educate the general public about broadband and the newest communication technologies, and to give New York City residents the opportunity to comment on how the digital divide in New York City can be closed. To support these efforts the Broadband Advisory Committee has held public Broadband Hearings in the Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhattan, and Queens. The Committee will hold its fifth and final hearing in Staten Island this fall.
