ATIC Strategy Committee Update:



ATIC Strategy Committee has been busy meeting virtually and also held an
extended strategic planning session on April 22 for regional broadband
stakeholders. The issues and actions at hand are:



. ATIC is recommending the State of Arizona create an Arizona
Broadband Council (ABC) consisting of public and private stakeholders to
provide management and oversight of broadband development in Arizona. We are
working with the Governor's Office and GITA to make ABC happen.



. ATIC has filed formal comments in response to the FCC Notice of
Inquiry in the matter of a National Broadband Plan for Our Future, in a
series of ATIC public responses to federal stimulus matters.



. ATIC has formed a Network and Broadband Provider Committee to focus
on private sector issues in the Telecommunications industry in Arizona and
electronic collaboration resources are being set up to facilitate



. Additionally, ATIC is launching a new Arizona Telecommunications &
Information Institute (ATI Institute) as a separate and distinct 501(c)(3)
non-profit under a research and education classification to pursue specific
initiatives championed by various coalitions providing oversight and fiscal
