- On March 24, the NTIA (National Telecommunications and Information Agency) an RUS (Rural Utility Service) completed six public hearings to discuss several outstanding questions regarding the broadband grant program outlined in the ARRA (American Recovery and Reinvestment Act). These hearings discussed many issues and responses were far-ranging, but perhaps the most important of the questions still to be resolved can be summarized as: - EDUCAUSE, April 1st, 2009

Papers and ReportsWeb Seminars and Podcasts - June 8: Cyberinfrastructure opportunities - perspectives on the NSF ARI-R² and MRI. The National Science Foundation (NSF) recently released two new grant solicitations that have implications for the development of cyberinfrastructure at institutions of higher education throughout the US - the Academic Research Infrastructure Program: Recovery and Reinvestment (ARI-R²) solicitation and MRI (Major Research Instrumentation). The Coalition for Academic Scientific Computation (CASC) and EDUCAUSE jointly sponsored a Web discussion on these NSF CI funding opportunities and the return on cyberinfrastructure investments. Speakers included Jim Bottum, Art Ellis and Ed Seidel.

- April 24: Stimulating Big Broadband Deployment For a number of years, EDUCAUSE has been arguing for an aggressive national policy to promote universal deployment of high-speed networks for the benefit of education, health care, and the economy in general. In January 2008, EDUCAUSE published "A Blueprint for Big Broadband" suggesting federal funding of $33 billion to build 100 Mbps last-mile connections to homes and businesses. The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 includes many of the key themes promoted by EDUCAUSE and provides $7.2 billion for broadband deployment. These funds will now be distributed by the U.S. Departments of Commerce and Agriculture over the next year and a half. So where are we now? What projects will best promote the needs of education? Who is most likely to obtain funding, and for what purposes? And is more funding necessary? In this presentation, we'll review the pending proposals and the politics surrounding big broadband, and we'll follow the money—past, present, and future—required to meet our goals.
