The National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA), through the BroadbandUSA program, in conjunction with Next Century Cities will hold a one-day regional broadband summit, ‘‘Digital Northwest,’’ to share information to help communities build their broadband capacity and utilization.

The summit will present best practices and lessons learned from broadband network infrastructure buildouts and digital inclusion programs from the State of Washington and surrounding states, including projects funded by NTIA’s Broadband Technology Opportunities Program (BTOP) and State Broadband Initiative (SBI) grant programs funded by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. The summit will also explore effective business and partnership models and will include access to regional policymakers, federal funders and industry providers.
