Are you familiar with the telecommunication services available to your
Indian reservation, Alaska Native village, or Native Hawaiian community?
The Office of Technology Assessment (OTA), a bipartisan independent agency
of the U.S. Congress, is conducting a survey of telephone, cable and
broadcast TV, computer conferencing, videoconferencing, wireless, and other
telecommunication services available (or not) in selected Native American
areas. The survey is part of a larger OTA study on telecommunications and
Native American cultural preservation, education, community wellness,
economic development, and governance.
OTA is looking for volunteers who live on or near Native reservations,
villages, and communities, and who are interested in compiling information
about the telecommunication services available in those areas. If you are
interested, please send an e-mail to OTA via internet attention
kbrietbach@ota.gov, or by fax to Karla Breitbach at 202-228-6098, or by mail
to Ms. Breitbach, OTA, U.S. Congress, Washington, DC 20510-8025. Please
include your name, affiliation, address (internet, fax, phone, and snail
mail), and tribe, village, or community of interest.
Questions? Please e-mail or call Ms. Breitbach at 202-228-6788 or 6760.
