At the beginning of the meeting, Kitty Clemens, Southwest New Mexico Council of Governments economic recovery specialist, asked people to speak about their concerns with broadband or lack thereof.
"Our purpose is to capture citizen's comments," Clemens said. "It is important to record public engagement. New rules now allow new opportunities for service providers. What you say tonight will support a statewide map of unserved and underserved areas for broadband."
She introduced Dianne Lindstrom of the New Mexico Public School Facilities Authority, and Paulo Pedreschi, the NMPSFA operations manager.
