THe main issue in this room is the education of tribal leaders and elders about techology.

Elsten is going to be speaking about setting standards and the tremoundus needs for these standards ATNI-EDC has built a metric to show the digital divide between the tribes and major metro areas.

A interesting thing was pointed out there are still people fighting to get a dial tone on reservation. So when people look at the broadband role out it's skewed. in the us in general there is 93% boradband connectivity but in reservations there are 67% broadband. This is a sad fact that in this day there are still people with out a dial tone. As I write this there was a person speaking about

The FCC has said the Tribal Lands Bidding Credit initiave has not been well used. 12 people have showen interest in it and only 6 have gone beyond the short process but 0 have been throught the hole process. of the 12 people who showed interest most if not all were the one applying for the etc licence.

A few things of not in this update have to do with the content of the package we got. FCC Auctions Universal Licensing System Consumer Facts on High speed internet "broadband" but of all of the info in the packet the Low power FM Radio Fact sheet is the best.

This was one of the shortest presentation I have seen so far. As we all know the FCC tends to licences for 10 years and in 30 mhz blocks. when they first did tis they piad special attention to companies that could produce the wide coverage area. they have mention the aviabilty of small business credits to allow small bussiness in to the market. The FCC has also mentioned the tribal lands

HEllo, From the ITI conference in Worley, ID. It was interesting to find out that some reservations still do not have some basic phone services like we have come to rely on. Here on the Coeur d'Alene Reservation there wasn't elec and phone services till about 50 years go. The FCC see the relation between then and the tribes as very good. The goal of ITI is to engage tribal access in to

Now I may not fully agree with the business ethics of Microsoft but this seems to be a step in the right direction when it comes to helping out governments. I don't think this will stop Brazil from converting to Linux or Cities like Copenhagen but it will have a bit of an impact on the rest of the world. Snippet: Microsoft is trying to help governments stop reinventing the digital wheel.

The 2 articles below both have to deal with security but I realllty liked the 2nd one on Sourcefire. As most of you know I am an advocate for opensource software including firefox, openoffice, skpye, and snort. For intrusion detection snort is hands down the best in my opinion. The 1st article has also got my attention because it tell as story of how MS is trying to secure it's OSes. Microsoft
