"Digital Communities not only enable people to have affordable access to information but are also advancing the quality of life. The W2i Digital Cities Convention explores the full range of wired and wireless broadband solutions that truly have a positive impact on the way we live work and play."
—Paul Butcher, Marketing Manager for State and Local Government, Intel

"When we look at what community broadband can do in the challenges that cities, local and state governments face—budget constraints, not enough tax dollars, the aging population—this is crucial and central to why this technology should be implemented. While there’s no perfect way to do this, no preordained business model, the W2i Digital Cities Convention is the forum for exploring how to get your plan going and to act with a sense of urgency."
