The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) conducted four educational
workshops focused on rural broadband during 2008. These workshops provided an opportunity for communities and organizations
in rural America seeking to bring the benefits of broadband to their communities to learn about the resources, programs, and
policies of the FCC and USDA.
The topics covered at the workshops included: the different technology platforms used to provide broadband services; USDA
funding for broadband deployment; the FCC's Rural Health Care Pilot program; and wireless spectrum access. The workshops also provided communities and organizations with an opportunity to share their
experiences about broadband deployment in rural and hard-to-reach areas.
