This month, in addition to celebrating the holiday season, the OARnet staff will be marking a signal event in the history of the organization. A year ago, Gov. John Kasich visited our offices to recognize the lighting of Ohio’s statewide 100 Gigabit per second network. The announcement sealed his January State-of-the-State promise to deploy the ultra-fast network by the end of the year.
The grand challenges we face in the 21st century are monumental. Solving these important national and global problems will require creative new approaches in science and technology. But responding to these 21st century challenges will prove even more difficult in light of the economic realities facing the nation and the world.
On behalf of the Policy & Communications team of the Ohio Technology Consortium (OH-TECH) and the executive directors of its member organizations, I am pleased to welcome you to our new blog and daily news aggregation site.
