Hi again, - 

We're back to remind you about this Friday's National Call for Safe Technology featuring President and CEO of the Fiber Broadband Association, Gary Bolton.

The Fiber Broadband Association (Whose Tagline is: “If it isn’t fiber, it isn’t broadband.”) is the largest trade association dedicated to all-fiber-optic broadband. Gary has featured a number of fiber optics providers on his "Fiber for Breakfast" series and has worked with the NTIA to produce a template ("Playbook") for how the NTIA should distribute federal broadband funding under the new Infrastructure Act, promoting funding for fiber optics to the premises. The Broadband Infrastructure Playbook is available at: https://www.fiberbroadband.org/page/playbook.

We also wanted to take this opportunity to share an event and another great link with you:

1) Tomorrow at 10 a.m Eastern, the Environmental Health Trust is holding "A Conversation with Pittsfield Families About the Emergency Cease and Desist for Verizon Cell Tower by the Pittsfield Board of Health"

Per their website, "The Community Networks Initiative of the Institute for Local Self-Reliance provides information to empower communities in making decisions around 21st century connectivity."

Ok, that's it for now. You'll most likely be hearing from us one more time with the agenda for Friday!
