Co-sponsored by the Office of Adolfo Carrion, the Bronx Borough
President and the South Bronx Overall Economic Development Corporation
(SoBRO), the New York City Broadband Advisory Committee will hold its
first public hearing on March 30, from 9 AM - 11 AM, in the rotunda of
Bronx Borough Hall, 851 Grand Concourse. Sponsored by Council Member
Gale Brewer, Local Law 126
(http://nyccouncil.info/issues/intros_act.cfm?intro=Int%200625%2D2005),
created the Broadband Advisory Committee to advise the Mayor and the
City Council on how to bring affordable broadband to all New York City
residents, nonprofit organizations and businesses. The Committee will
hear testimony from select elected officials, policy experts and, most
importantly, Bronx residents. Council Member Brewer and Borough
President Carrion invite all Bronx residents, nonprofit organizations
and businesses to testify about the availability and affordability -- or
lack of -- of broadband (that is, a high-speed connection to the
Internet) in their neighborhoods.

You can learn more about the Broadband Advisory Committee as well as
comment about the issue of broadband in New York City by going to the
Broadband Advisory Committee's blog, www.nycbroadband.blogspot.com
. Comments will then be posted
on the Committee's blog for public consumption. Or you can mail your
comments to Colleen Pagter, Policy Analyst for the Committee on
Technology in Government, New York City Council, 250 Broadway, 14th
Floor, New York, NY 10007. If you cannot make it to the hearing on
March 30, we still want to hear from you so feel free to post your
thoughts on the Advisory Committee's blog!

Some questions we would like to get answers to include:

* Why is a fast affordable Internet connection important to you?
* What do you consider an "affordable" fee to pay for a high-speed
connection to the Internet?
* If you have a broadband connection, what do you use it for (e.g.,
help your child do his/her homework)?
* If don't have broadband or if you had a faster connection to the
Internet, what would you use it for (e.g., market your business
on-line or look for a job)?

The hearing in the Bronx will kick-off a series of five public
hearings that will be convened in every borough of New York City. The
next hearing has been tentatively scheduled for mid-May in downtown
Brooklyn. Stay tuned for details. Based on these hearings and with the
help of the New York City Economic Development Corporation, the Advisory
Committee will report their findings and recommendations to the Mayor
and City Council.

For information regarding the Committee's public hearing schedule,
event details and how you might get involved in providing community
outreach, please contact Ryan Merola (ryan.merola-at-gmail.com
/ 212-788-6975).
