Wired Magazine calls David Hughes "the best known online personality in the country." Hughes is a partner of Old Colorado City Communications, an Internet, and custom communications development and training company located in the Old Colorado City District of westside Colorado Springs. He has been developing, operating, installing, and supporting online systems since 1979. Dave Hughes will speak on the topic of "Wireless Technology" on Thursday October 19th at 5:30 pm in the North Ballroom of the Lory Student Center at Colorado State University. The public is invited.
Dave Hughes has concentrated particularly on bringing high levels of connectivity at the lowest possible cost to the most remote, rural, small towns and schools of the US, and several foreign countries.
Dave's priority is on grass roots up, rather than top down development of community networking. Hughes has consulted for the Congressional Office of Technology Assessment on public communications policies. In 1993 Hughes was awarded the Telecommunications Pioneer Award by the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) of Washington, DC for his effective work in electronic democracy.
Currently he is working with rural schools in the San Luis Valley of Colorado. His company was recently awarded a grant by the National Science Foundation to do a year's field testing of no-licence digital wireless technologies for education. This will be the subject of his remarks. His wireless URL is "http://192.160.122.3"
