"Broadband in rural and remote communities" web presentation hosted by NRC
I'm very pleased to invite you to participate in a webcast event this Friday featuring RICTA member Ricardo Ramirez.
Ricardo will be speaking about: "Broadband in rural and remote communities: Options for impact assessment" at the National Research Council of Canada in Fredericton. His talk will be webcast live at 13h EDT / 14h ADT on Friday, October 21, 2005. Dr. Ramirez' abstract and biography can be viewed at:

During and after the talk, remote viewers will be able to participate via webcast. If you would like to view or participate in this event, please check out the webcast site soon to make sure your computer is configured compatibly with our Sametime webcast software.
To check compatibility, go to: http://webconf-en.iit-iti.nrc-cnrc.ca/ and then "Attend a meeting" and "test meeting." Note that full functionality for this software is only available under Windows. For the smoothest collaborative environment, we recommend the following: Windows XP/2000/2003, Internet Explorer 6, Java 1.5 (must have Java installed for the webcast software to work). We recommend you check out your compatibility at least one-half hour before the event itself. Sometimes the test meeting will not work on first try and you will have to quit the browser and restart the test. Once you've had a successful "test meeting" future meetings are usually very smooth. We expect that most interaction between remote participants and those in Fredericton will be through the chat mode on the webcast software. However it will be possible to have audio exchange. In this case, remote participants must use a headset with mic (mic without headset causes feedback).
Come back to the webcast site on Friday, Oct. 21 at 14h ADT for the event:
