The lack of broadband internet services in rural areas\, called t he digital divide\, limits medical access to Telehealth services\, limits educational resources for homeschooling\, limits Science Technology and En gineering Mathematics (STEM) programs. Large American cities have broadban d internet access that uses installed coaxial cable\, optical fiber\, and satellite transmissions\, which are offered to residents at economic rates \, but many states AL\, AR\, LA\, MS\, OK\, and TX\, have vast rural areas that are not served by cellular or internet cable service providers. The Native American Cherokee tribe in Oklahoma\, has launched 35 internet hot spots to serve their communities to provide language training and other ed ucational services. Other Native American tribes\, Osage and Choctaw\, hav e received grants from the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) and Nationa l Telecommunications Information Agency (NTIA) with which to deploy broadb and internet services. Hot spots using Wireless fidelity (WiFi)\, can be a n interim solution to provide rural internet service for rural void covera ge at a much lower cost than satellites provide\, and offers ease of deplo yment without using expensive ground coaxial or fiber optical cabling inte rfaces.\n\nThe meeting will be held on the Oklahoma Christian University c ampus in the Duncan Room.
