How Broadband Changed My Life Contest Presentation

Recently, the Alliance for Public Technology announced the winner of the "how broadband changed my life contest, an award program which recognizes individuals who, through their testimonials, showed how high-speed Internet access can transform lives. Panelists included, Michael Manley, Outreach Director at the University Of Arkansas For Medical Sciences, Keneth Peres President of the Alliance for Public Technology, and Kevin Celata with the Communication Workers of America. "A common theme in most of the 420 entries received was the importance of broadband," noted Joy Howell, campaign director of the "Broadband Changed My Life!" campaign. "Technically they could have just told us about their life changing experiences. It was as if they divided their lives into two halves: before broadband and after it. These stories demonstrate that broadband is influencing every aspect of our daily lives."
