The Strategic Technology Collaborative is a group who work to encourage communities to take responsibility for the design and development of strategies that promote local broadband deployment. At a basic level, this requires a renewed commitment to bold envisioning of and planning for future infrastructural needs, institutions, policies and applications of technology.
Access to high performance digital communications is a fundamental prerequisite to participation in the global knowledge economy.
Hundreds of communities are creating bold plans, adopting policies and undertaking innovative public/private partnerships to extend and enhance local broadband infrastructure.
While STC is deliberately neutral on which business models, technologies, and local policy priorities are appropriate for each unique local market, all communities should establish a comprehensive and viable broadband strategy.
The STC is dedicated to the idea that each community must accept formal responsibility for creating a local connectivity strategy that accelerates the availability of advanced broadband networks to all members of the community.
