Yesterday, I mentioned that Minnesota’s Office of Broadband Development (OBD) invites public comment on a draft Digital Opportunity Plan. (Read an executive summary, or the full Digital Opportunity Plan.)
I want to help emphasize the importance of getting public feedback on the report if we want to maximize impact. So today I thought I’d share the times and places of the various meetings. You can register online!
