This week, the California Emerging Technology Fund (CETF) held its Regional Broadband Consortia Summit in Sacramento. Representatives from RCRC, the California State Association of Counties, and the League of California Cities joined Supervisors from Trinity and Yolo Counties to participate on a panel to discuss how local leaders can better engage regional consortia.
The panel also discussed the upcoming legislative session, and ways regional consortia members can be involved in affecting broadband policy at the state level.
The mission of CETF is to provide leadership statewide to close the "Digital Divide" by accelerating the deployment and adoption of broadband to unserved and underserved communities and populations.
