A
Thank
thank
you
all
so
much
for
coming.
I'm
just
going
to
burst
right
into
the
program
here,
because
we
have
so
many
great
speakers
and
panelists
that
I
want
to
make
sure
that
we
get
right
to
the
meat
of
our
program
here.
So,
on
behalf
of
the
city
of
Bloomington,
welcome
to
Bloomington
symposium
on
next-generation
high-speed
networks
today
we'll
be
discussing
opportunities
and
examples
for
Bloomington.
As
we
begin
the
process
of
securing
next-generation
broadband
for
our
community.
Thank
you
for
coming.
Our
program
includes
speakers
and
panels.
We're
grateful
for
so
many
excellent
participants.
A
You'll
find
short
bios
of
each
of
our
participants
in
the
program
which
was
out
in
the
hallway,
and
if
you
didn't
get
that,
do
you
have
a
few
more
Michael?
Please,
please
raise
your
hand
if
you'd,
like
one
will
get
one
to
you.
We
do
have
the
bios
or
the
participants
in
there,
so
we
won't
be
doing
extended
introductions
to
to
all
of
our
panelists.
So
we
can
focus
on
our
discussion
today.
A
Time
permitting
we'll
be
taking
questions
for
our
speakers,
which
you
can
submit
on
note
cards
as
we
get
into
the
program,
whether
it's
a
panel
or
a
speaker.
If
you
do
want
a
note
card,
please
raise
your
hand
and
Michael
will
get
one
to
you
will
be
collecting
those
throughout
the
proceedings
and
then
deliver
those
questions
to
to
our
participants.
A
Before
we
get
to
the
meat
of
the
program,
though,
I
want
to
mention
a
few
things
about
our
logistics
here.
The
event
runs
from
1
to
5.
Today,
there's
a
break
at
three
p.m.
we
have
some
light.
Refreshments
out
in
the
hall
will
convene
pretty
quickly.
After
that
again,
we
do
have
a
very
full
full
agenda.
A
We're
here
today
to
learn
more
about
next
generation,
high-speed
networks
from
national
and
local
experts
convened
to
provide
their
insight
on
this
important
topic.
Mayor
Hamilton
has
made
next-generation
infrastructure
a
priority
for
his
administration
and
for
Bloomington,
and
it's
my
pleasure
to
introduce
the
mayor
of
the
city
of
Bloomington,
John
Hamilton.
