We’re collecting reports from the past

The gang that's writing the history chapter is using a wiki to build up our draft.  You're welcome to watch over our shoulders and offer comments (send me email, or comment on this post -- editing the wiki is restricted to the four of us authors).  Click HERE for a link to the page we're working on.

There are a gaggle of "important reports" gathered there -- and I'm on the hunt for more.  I've already written about one such report -- the Citizen's League study in 1989.  But there are two more (as of this writing) that you might be interested in;

  • The Minnesota Telefutures Study Group -- established by the Public Utilities Commission (PUC) in late 1990. Click HERE for the report
  • Ventura Administration - On December 14, 1999, the Ventura Administration issued its Telecommunications Strategic Plan. Click HERE for the report

These are important reading for those of us who want to understand the history of this conversation and I commend them to ya.

Any more "important reports" out there that we should be looking for?

    In 2002, there was a report relating to permanently funding telecommunications access for K-12 education done by the Minnesota Department of Education. It would be available through the Legislative Reference Library. The title is something like Permanent Funding for K-12 Telecommunications Access. I happen to still have a copy (I worked on it when I was at the MDE) if you want to see it.
