Join us for the next NCompass Live, ‘The Next Best Thing to Having Your Own Gigabit Internet’, on Wednesday, December 27, 10:00am – 11:00am CT.
Did you know that every Nebraska public school district is connected via fiber to the statewide network, and each is capable of 1,000Mbps Internet or more? Did you know that most Nebraska public libraries are within 1-2 miles of a public school building but fewer than 15% report their Internet capacity in excess of 25Mbps? Did you know that approximately 50,000 K-12 students do not have Internet at home? What if there was a way to partner to share school district Internet with your library at minimal cost AND qualify for E-rate without excessive filtering? Attend this session to find out about this closely guarded infrastructure secret and learn how to strike up a relationship with your local public school district.
Presenters: Tom Rolfes, Education IT Manager, Nebraska Information Technology Commission; Holly Woldt, Senior IT Infrastructure Support Analyst, Nebraska Library Commission.
