I just booked my ticket for NATOA's annual conference in San Francisco in September - the theme is Gigabit Communities.
This conference has some great supporters of community broadband networks, including Joanne Hovis, Jim Baller, David Isenberg, FCC Commissioner Mignon Clyburn, among others. People from a number of communities that have already built networks will also be there. Representatives from some of the big cities that have come closest to making investments will also be there - Portland, Seattle, and San Francisco.
Be sure to check out the agenda and drop by if you can!
