PREVIEW of 2014 BROADBAND LEGISLATION
Sen. Matt Schmit, Minnesota Senate
Rep. Laurie Halverson, MN House of Representatives
Rep. Erik Simonson, MN House of Representatives
Moderator: Milda K. Hedblom, Director, TISP Forum

Discussion will soon begin at the Minnesota State Legislature about the best path forward for broadband policy in Minnesota. Issues include the need for reducing rural and urban disparities, the need for investment in big broadband networks, and the need for protection of essential networks. The context for all of these issues is the increasing evidence that big broadband and economic development are closely connected. What are the right steps for Minnesota? Leaders with responsibilities for broadband policy will share perspectives and discuss proposed legislation.
