Good morning! We now have offline discussion groups forming all over the
country. We have video clips coming in from great community-based
projects too and radio stations signing up. That now happening, let's
hear more from the Net!
In your postings, please remember to Cc: to <summit@tmn.com> so we can
gather the broadest number of responses out there possible into one place
where we can work with them. The Summit agenda itself was posted just
recently. Take a look at the people and organizations on the first panel.
Consider the following panel description, and let the panelists know --
and each to all -- what you think.
Description of the First Panel:
"Delivering the Goods: Meeting Public Needs?"
The NII could have profound impacts on the way we learn, how we stay
healthy or get well, how and where we work, and how we communicate within
our community and beyond. Or it could be saturated with TV reruns and
movies, home shopping, electronic games and gambling. What services,
information and programming do we want delivered over the NII? What needs
will not be met in the commercial marketplace? Once the hardware is in
place, how will we guarantee that the information, health, education,
cultural and other public interest benefits are available?
WHAT DO YOU THINK? DO YOU HAVE A QUESTION FOR A PANELIST?
