CTC Technology & Energy President Joanne Hovis was a featured speaker today at a New America Foundation forum that explored the relationship between broadband and economic development.

Ms. Hovis was invited to the forum as an expert on broadband markets. She also represented the views of the National Association of Telecommunications Officers and Advisors (NATOA), of which she is president-elect.

The New America Foundation’s Open Technology Initiative sponsored the event, which sought to address issues raised by the development of the National Broadband Plan and the upcoming second round of broadband stimulus funding.
