Once again, it is time for the SCAN Programming
Swaparama!
The date is set for Tuesday, November 29th
in the morning from 10am to 12 noon and we plan to have lots of
programming available to attendees. We will be meeting in Garden Grove
at their community center. Thanks to Garden Grove for hosting us!
For those of you who are involved, you know that
we make thousands of DVDs for this event in order to have enough copies
for everyone.
This time, we would like everyone to RSVP well in
advance so we make just enough for everyone and don’t waste valuable
time and resources making too many extra.
So, if you know you want to come and want the
shows, please do a non-paid RSVP to Val Logan this week, if possible.
Also, if you have shows to
contribute, please contact me directly to let me know what shows you
have at
robin.gee@smgov.net.
You can mail me DVD masters and we will make the copies here at CityTV.
I will be posting the shows we will have available
as I get the list together.
Please review your videotape library and see what
you have from the past two years that you can share with others and is
suitable for airing on other channels.
Below is the cost for participating in the
Swaparama to come and help yourself to shows.

SCAN Chapter Meeting
The Importance of
Municipal Fiber Optic
Networks to a Local Economy
OCTOBER 19, 2011
9:30AM - 12NOON
CITY OF SANTA MONICA
The
Telecommunications Act of 1996 was intended to open up markets to
competition by removing regulatory barriers to entry for
telecommunications carriers. 15 years later, the City of Santa
Monica and its businesses are realizing the benefits of the
legislation with Santa Monica’s successful municipal broadband
initiative.
Santa Monica City Net, the city-owned and operated 10 Gigabit fiber
optic network, has received overwhelming support within the local
business community. The network was recently honored with
InformationWeek’s Government Innovators Awardand the Ash Center at
the Harvard Kennedy School recognized the network as one of the Top
25 Innovations in Government.
Santa Monica businesses are realizing 67% cost reductions, broadband
speeds not available in most cities, and utilizing the network to
implement leading technology projects in their industry. Tech
companies are increasingly seeking opportunities to relocate to
Santa Monica to live and work in the “The Tech Coast”.
Listen
to a panel of speakers representing industry leaders in the Tech,
Health, and Telecommunications industry offer insight into the
economic, strategic, and operational benefits of a successful
municipal fiber optic network. This SCAN chapter meeting is a "can't
miss" event for your municipality's IT and economic development
staff!
