We just got word on a broadband meeting in Minneapolis one week from today. I’m hoping to attend and promise to take notes.

Senator Klobuchar has scheduled a Rural Broadband Roundtable for December 29th at 10:00 a.m. at the Minneapolis Central Library [Note on Dec 22 – please note that the location has changed to the State Capitol Room 125]

Roundtable participants will discuss the need for rural communities to have greater investment in and access to high speed broadband internet. Attendees will provide real world examples of the challenges rural communities face as well as success stories. Senator Klobuchar will discuss her priorities around “Information Infrastructure” and the Obama administrations emphasis on funding this effort.

Senator Klobuchar held a similar broadband roundtable in Park Rapids a few weeks ago.
