RuralTelecon97 takes to the web.


The first national conference on rural telecommunications has just finished in
Aspen, Colorado. We have dealt with policy, social realities, large telco’s,
small telcos, community organizations, and user needs, as well as politics. We
have generated  postings to its webcaucus site as each session is completed.
conference attendees in Aspen are continuing posting their own comments and
insights, and the on line conference will continue through November. The online
conference is lively and using Caucus, which makes conversation across space
and time easy to manage and delightful to participate in. All those not at the
conference are invited to participate by registering through the conference's
website at


http://ruraltelecon.org


and choosing On line Discussions on the Metanet.


or go direct to


http://www.tmn.com/ruraltelecon97-offsite-register


The conference will stay active on line till the end of November and the off
site registration is $25 US.




Thanks!
