The Arizona Telecommunications and Information Council (ATIC), the Telecommunications Infrastructure Subcommittee (TISC) of the Governor’s Council on Innovation and Technology (GCIT), the Community Information and Telecommunications Alliance, and the Arizona Consumer Council have been in discussions with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) regarding federal support for telecom infrastructure initiatives in Arizona. While the FCC does not have funding, they have offerd to help coordinate and facilitate access to other federal departments.

We are now in the process of identifying Arizona initiatives to present to federal agencies and private resources.
