The event was sponsored by the CTC VISTA Project and the Community Media and Technology Program at CPCS. The Boston-area partners in the CTC-VISTA project united to form the Greater Boston Broadband Network, a regional digital broadband network with multilevel and site educational opportunities for a university-community partnership. To use all GBBN components, the talk by George Stoney was staged as a presentation to a live audience in a distance learning classroom in the Information Technology Center. The event was then cablecast on Boston Neighborhood Network’s channel 23. It has been archived for on-demand web streaming at www.itc.org/gbbn by GBBN partners UMass Lowell Distance Learning Center and the Lowell Telecommunications Corporation. -Reebee Garofalo
