most certainly are. And thank you so much, Steve. Well, it's a joy and an honor to be here with such a distinguished and I guess, group of peers and people looking ahead, that's where I tend to dwell at Fuller vision. We're always about 10 months. We hope was 10 years ahead. And in this area of broadband, it's kind of interesting. My signal may come and go a little bit because I'm in Santa Fe, New Mexico, at this time, we've been here visiting with the Santa Fe Institute and other organizations and the tent has gotten bigger, but back when I started into this line of things, after living in Tucson and advocating for public access cable television, as 200 channels were coming into our town, and they were going to do what they were going to kind of swamp our Community Based arts and culture workers, which I was representing as a commissioner of arts and culture at that time. And when I ended up over in Silicon Valley because of my work with computer graphics and virtual reality technologies, I was elected to the board of the community owned cable television cooperative, and we launched the first cable television broadband network in the United States. Shortly thereafter, I got the Japanese phone company to pitch in, and I created a virtual reality digital twin of Palo Alto Stanford the Baylands. We had animals and butterflies all shooting about as well as video conferencing avatars, and we could do that because we had broadband in our community and an intranet shared between the members of the community, private and secure. But for me, that was kind of the vision of what the future might hold for us as we look ahead, and how people might use technology, rather than little squares, genies in a bottle, soaps on a rope, to get our information knowledge connect to each other in the world. I thought it could be much nicer if we could recognize the institutions, the streets, the community, the amenities that are part of our community, and gather together with people in those places. So that world of today is indeed the interactive game world. When I came to Santa Fe here in 1999 of having launched that virtual city in Palo Alto in 97 I thought I would come here and I would create virtual art galleries, and we'd have streaming video gallery openings and artist studios and things like that. I visited all the top art galleries with a friend who's a famous artist. And then at the end, I visited the gentleman running the plaza cam, who was the IT guy for this part of the state, and then I found out they had one t1 line serving Northern New Mexico. So there you go. You can get a little bit ahead of yourself when you wander too far from the west coast with sort of my conclusion. But here I am back. We've been meeting with the Santa Fe Institute, an organization called redfish. We'll, we'll share that in the link there, and with also people that have been we were, we spent yesterday with medicine men and at the Hamish pueblo. And Roger help me out there, Kelo through fragua. Fragua, yes. Roger represents, among other things, 21 tribal entities in Arizona. And we're embracing the concept of how rural as well as urban, cities of tomorrow might use these technologies through a marriage of several technologies. And that's the 10 minutes, I hope, in the future, part where we you. Use AI agents, technologies that assist us in accessing, finding and locating things that we're hoping to discover for various reasons in our lives, as today, we've used these miserable things like gargoyle and farcebook and forgive my whimsy, you know, to access knowledge, to connect with each other. The great promise of the internet, which was going to bring everybody together and connect the world, sort of ended up in kind of a place where, you know, predators up in the clouds definitely take full advantage. And the idea of how this might serve our rural communities and tribal communities is is laudable to think how so many have used and benefited from the internet, but the part that's been missing is the mycelial type, connections down on the ground level, where we live in those relationships that we count on every day, the people we work with, where our kids go to school, where we shop, the streets, the landmarks, the parts of the world where we live, and that part is indeed where the world of tomorrow comes augmented reality, the idea of appending to the world around us and the physical objects, the connection to The knowledge about those things, the links that bring us together as a community, as we see what's happened in the south and Florida and in our own recent experience with fires and and all of the calamities that are now befalling our world with the changing climate, the things that have extinguished so Many civilizations right here in our in our state, as we see the ruins of a ancient people that 1000 years have been abandoned, that should have been a little bit of a warning that things change sometimes, and when they change, we need to be ready to work with it. And so I'm hopeful that the kinds of technologies that we see coming with environmental sensing, and all of these things can be overlaid with these AI technologies, as well as the future for D spatial computing, Spatial Mapping, the new kinds of job skills I see there are very different than the ones that will build this infrastructure. In fact, that's the thing that I wanted to imbue with you all today, the idea that beyond the spend down of these monies, which are finite and may come to an end, possibly sooner than later, what comes next? And the answer is, if we have our communities and our rural areas connected by broadband, why not spread a network that basically fulfills the day to day needs of every citizen, and puts in place the knowledge and experience and joy of knowing these places, so that we can all engage with those things and make that a part of our life and a new social fabric around us that that binds us together in better Ways. Today, it's very difficult to get information about what's around you in your neighborhood, or to get gardening tips from your neighbors. I mean, my goodness, why is that a struggle? You know? Why is it that next door neighborhood, which is just absolutely pernicious to any kind of real civility or usefulness or emergency response, you know? Why is it these things are what we're plagued with, and why haven't we evolved from the ground up, the kinds of community based infrastructure that supports our customs, our traditions, reflects our diversity, our uniqueness, and so that belief that I've held now for 40 years is now being manifest in these new tools and technologies, and I didn't want to spend too long on this today, other than just open it up to questions about technologies and how this might evolve. But indeed, what comes after this broadband initiative, and I just wanted to put that out there for you all to have a vision that it could go from where we are today and what we'll end up with with these new tools and technologies, this new boost to the infrastructure, which was, may I point out, horribly badly built by the telecom monopolies, we allowed to do this sort of work. Now we're kind of getting to fill it in and kind of complete their work. And so from that side of the desk, you know, not a very good recommendation for how well america i Please
