Dispatches From Digital City EXPO, Part 7: Finale

← Dispatches From Digital City EXPO, Part 6: Ask for the Moon What's the Deal with Net Neutrality? →

January 24th, 2008

Well, here we are at the closing keynote speaker. Mark Goldstein, president of the International Research Center and member of the Arizona Telecommunications and Information Council (ATIC), put the topper on the Digital City EXPO cake with his presentation "Storm Clouds, Silver Linings and Blue Skies for Wireless Broadband."

Goldstein's message: despite the worries in the wireless broadband market in 2007, there are plenty of reasons to be hopeful for 2008. And what a fine message for municipalities to take with them as they leave Phoenix and continue their plans for enhanced communications infrastructures in this yet new year.

Now, it's time for the Last Mile staff to hop the next flight home. Trading the mild desert sun for the bitter Midwest snow is no trade at all.

We'll comb through our notes and give one final wrap of our insights and highlights about the Digital City EXPO. Until then, good luck with your travels across that last mile of the digital divide. We hope to see many more Smart Communities in 2008.
