[MLB-WIRELESS] Fw: The Broadbanding of Local Communities

[dean]

Yes but Paul Budde is the first guy who would be prepared to waive the fee and allow you to participate for free if you had a
reasonable case for doing so.

Having said that-the guy has to eat and has expenses and besides that is a nice guy who does a hell of a lot for the industry at
little or no charge so $195 is very reasonable.


Cheers,

Dean

Hello Barry,

BP> Dear Barry,


BP> Local Government Summit

BP> The Broadbanding of Local Communities

BP> Novotel - Brighton Le Sands - Sydney

BP> 12 December 2002



BP> Over 50 representatives from local councils such as Sydney, Adelaide, Perth, Brisbane, Gold Coast, Townsville, Bendigo,
Newcastle, Snowy Mountains, Port Stephens, Lake Macquarie and Bathurst as
BP> well as State-, Federal Government and industry representatives will gather in Sydney on Thursday (12 December) to attend a
local government summit on the broadbanding of local communities, an
BP> event initiated and organised by Paul Budde.



BP> The aim of the Summit is to empower local councils to take charge of building local knowledge based society on new broadband
networks. Awareness of the potential of broadband is increasing daily,
BP> and cities, regions and communities are beginning to perceive the social and economic benefits that can be derived from this
technology. It is therefore of critical importance that cities and
BP> regional authorities take charge of the development of their knowledge-based environments.



BP> A proactive local government is a vital element in the development of broadband - one that is potentially capable of delivering
community benefits in education, healthcare, community services,
BP> job creation and export.



BP> At this Summit Paul will present the Broadband Agenda - a plan covering the development of broadband and the strategies that
should flow after it becomes established.



BP> Worldwide, there are now over 1,000 community-driven broadband initiatives. In Australia there are, amongst others, projects in
Canberra, Perth, Bendigo, Mildura and Newcastle; furthermore, well
BP> over 50 regional organisations have indicated their interest in regional projects.



BP> This seminar will provide local organisations with a wealth of information on how to get started and there will be presentations
from representatives of some of the cities that are already on the
BP> move.



BP> The Local Government Summit is the third major broadband event organised by Paul Budde. In December 2001, he organised the
National Broadband Summit, which brought together all the major players
BP> in the industry. He is also the initiator of UtiliTel - a project in which twelve of Australia's leading electricity utilities
are pursuing a nationwide investigation into the opportunities
BP> associated with the broadband technology.



BP> Representatives from leading local broadband projects will speak at the Summit:

BP>   a.. Kevan Penter,  Manager Bright - Perth
BP>   b.. Bruce Winzar - City of Bendigo
BP>   c.. Phil Herrick, GM Southern Phone Co, Moruya (NSW)
BP>   d.. John Freeman, CEO Neigbourhood Cable - Mildura, Geelong, Ballarat
BP>   e.. Michael Delgigante, CEO TransAct - Canberra


BP> Cost: Local council and regional representatives - $195 per person, Others - $295 (excl.GST)
