Webinar Feb 18: Grants and Other Funding Opportunities for Broadband and Telecoms Firms Under the Stimulus Act

I would like to point out this webinar which I will be attending tomorrow entitled “Grants and Other Funding Opportunities for Broadband and Telecommunications Companies Under the Economic Stimulus Act.” I attended Bingham’s webinar two weeks ago and found it valuable.

Here is a description of the webinar:

Given the impending enactment of the economic stimulus legislation and with the details only recently becoming more clear, Bingham will host a private webinar on Wednesday, February 18, to highlight the multiple NTIA/RUS grants and other funding opportunities for the broadband and telecommunications sector. Billions of dollars will be distributed via grants, loans, and loan guarantees to wireline and wireless carriers, tower companies, equipment manufacturers, system integrators, construction companies and other entities seeking funding under a multitude of unprecedented government initiatives.

This presentation will identify the various sources of government funds and explain the funding procedures and grant application processes. Bingham lawyers will also address those issues anticipated to generate regulatory and industry debate: timing, open access requirements, bit speeds, competitive impact and funding allocation.

Telecommunications executives, counsel, investors and business partners should attend this webinar and learn how to maximize their economic opportunities.

A live question-and-answer session will follow the presentation.

WHEN
Wednesday, February 18, 2009
2:00pm (ET)

Andrew D. Lipman, Senior Partner and Practice Group Leader
Frank G. Lamancusa, Of Counsel

  1. Wondering Says:

    Looks like this webinar requires a password … how can I view a archive of the program?

  2. Esme Vos Says:

    The link to the archived webinar (plus password) is posted now in the article.

  3. Chuck Says:

    I’ve tried to log in to the webinar archive using Safari (on the Mac), Explorer (on the Mac), Firefox (on a PC), and Explorer (version 7, on a PC) using the password bingham09 typed in and copied/pasted in and it just doesn’t work. Keeps coming back with the same dialog box (“This Webast is password-protected. Please supply the required password.”)

    Any ideas here?

    Thanks!

  4. Esme Vos Says:
