Mayor to discuss wifi bubble with bloggers
Mayor White will be holding a conference call with area bloggers tonight, to discuss his plan to create a municipal wireless internet bubble.
Here's the email from Mustafa Tameez, who has been associated with many of the mayor's high-priority political communications efforts:
As many of you may have been alerted by now, we have scheduled a 30-minute conference call at 6:30 on Monday May 15, 2006, in order to present Houston area bloggers details of Mayor Bill White's upcoming plans for citywide WiFi.
Information and communications technologies are as important for the 21st century as were roads, sewer, gas and water systems for earlier growth and progress. Robust, competitive and affordable communications are critical for the city to attract and retain jobs, improve the quality of education, enhance the delivery of healthcare services, and protect and serve residents.
We hope you can join us to give this issue coverage, ask questions, and offer feedback on this proposal. Joining Mayor White will be Richard Lewis. Michael Garfield will be moderating the event.
Conference call in number: 832-395-1080
(No code required)Thank you in advance for your time,
Mustafa Tameez
The email mentions "area bloggers" so I presume this telephone press blogger conference is open to any bloggers who are interested, and not some sort of elite group. If you're a local blogger and the invitation somehow missed you, feel free to call in and blog about the experience. In fact, if someone were to call in with Gizmo and record the call that would be superb (we could host it here)! The conference is scheduled during my regular time at the gym, so I'll be relying on blogger accounts/recordings of the blogger conference. I hope they're good!
UPDATE: Larry Hendrick posts an mp3 of the conference on his Business Unusual blog.
