Studies, NASCIO, the World Institute on Disability and
Microsoft.
"We are pleased to have Voyant become part of Connected Nation's
National Advisory Council, and we look forward to benefiting from
Jay's insights," said Connected Nation CEO Brian Mefford. "With the
recent passage of President Obama's American Recovery and
Reinvestment Act, this is a pivotal time in our nation's broadband
environment. We look forward to doing our utmost to maximize the
deployment, use and understanding of this critical national
infrastructure."
