Yesterday the Arizona Telecommunications and Information Council (ATIC - http://www.arizonatele.com/atic/) held its third biennial Arizona Corporation Commission (ACC) Debate which was webcast live during presentation to a studio audience here in Phoenix. Post event webcasting parsed by some two dozen program segments should be up shortly and DVDs in distribution to statewide media outlets and other organizations by next week. The event subsite with additional info is at http://www.arizonatele.com/atic/election/acc06.php FYI.
Our ACC Candidates Forum on September 19, 2002 was to the best of our knowledge the first ever live web cast of a statewide candidates' debate in the country and we have evolved to now produce the most important debate opportunity for the Arizona Corporation Commission (ACC) in the election cycle, with financial support from the Citizens Clean Elections Commission (CCEC - http://www.ccec.state.az.us/). On another note, I recently created an Arizona Telecommunications and Information Council (ATIC) Archive page (http://www.arizonatele.com/atic/archive.html) detailing almost 20 years of Arizona high-technology and telecommunications policy and economic development activity with some 150 individual listings. Many of the presentations and reports are uniquely available here and others from far flung sources collected for ready reference. We are working with the State Library's Arizona Memory Project (http://azmemory.lib.az.us/) to scan and mount some of the older historical documents (1990-1996 mostly) that are referenced in the list and make them publicly available in electronic form as well. Perhaps this repository chronicling Arizona's longstanding efforts in the telecom policy arena and some of the underlying documents will be of interest.
