*Broadband Institute fiber-optic network update meeting today***


The Massachusetts Broadband Institute will host a "community meeting" at 
6 p.m. today in Greenfield Community College's Sloan Theater to offer an 
update on the fiber-optic network it is building to provide broadband 
Internet to unserved parts of north central and western Massachusetts.

The MassBroadband 123 initiative launched this summer is designed to 
expand high-speed Internet access to more than 120 communities across 
the region.

The 1½-hour meeting at the main GCC campus will provide the latest 
information on last-mile strategies to connect broadband to homes and 
businesses, as well as an update from Axia, the network operator for 
MassBroadband 123.

MBI will discuss connecting "community anchor" institutions such as 
libraries, schools, health-care and public-safety entities. The meeting 
will also highlight grant opportunities for small businesses interested 
in integrating broadband use and computer ownership into their 
organizations.
