IT Symposium—Laura indicated that they needed to work and have discussion on the symposium. The committee had discussion in regards to the incentive for the symposium. The symposium is to provide information to set up technology for the businesses in the community.

The committee also discussed the various components for the set up of the symposium to include a one-day conference, proposing a North Country Technology innovative award for various businesses, and having keynote speakers.

There was discussion on different presentations depending on the business such as agriculture, hospitality, tourism, local gov’t, retail, and non-profit to follow the strategic plan.

Laura will check with Si-Tech and Chamber to see if they would be interested in donating some time to assist with the preparation.

Tentatively looking at the middle of March to hold the symposium.

Presentation/Discussion: Jim Wright and Tom Sauter from DANC made a presentation to the committee and discussion regarding OATN rates, structure, and economic development pricing for hard to serve communities. Mr. Wright handed out and briefly reviewed the history and presented the perspective of DANC. Mr. Wright indicated that one of the goals is to create an environment for customers to have choices. A potential solution that DANC considered was to have an individual case billing where you can take a unique service linking various sites.
They are looking into economic development funding.

The IT Committee further discussed various potential solutions for broadband services to hard to serve communities to include the need to be able to divide the service so that it can be fair depending on the usage of the service.
