our founding in 1961, the institute has been focused in part on how technology comes to shape the future. and perhaps no area has been more transformative than the information and communications technology, in the past half century. disbursement of these technologies is not always been equal throughout america. today we will address how the spread of technologies has varied between urban and rural america. we will unveil a new study that my colleague hanns kuttner has produced that indicates there is clearly a broad band gap between urban and rural america. what that gap means for our economy will be a central question for us today, which is why we are in part holding this -- in part calling this an economic forum on the future of rural communications. first, the executive director of the foundation for rural service will offer remarks. then we will hear from heinz hanns kuttner. then i will moderate a panel discussion about rural telecommunications, and then questions and answers from the audience. now let me begin by introducing elizabeth proctor, executive director of the f

technology team in terms of tracking ability in the new pts because we want to be able to generate a report like that relatively simply and that is definitely under discussion. the only other item i would like to bring to your attention is one that was introduced at land use yesterday by supervisor cohen. this is a piece of legislation that came up earlier this year and essentially goes after foreclosure properties. the owners of 10 or more foreclosed properties, he wants to amend the police code in order to uphold the damages that could be exacted upon those types of actions. i surmise the supervisor is sensitive about banks and financial institutions that are going through foreclosures and she's trying to essentially make this a pocketbook issue with them. but in some instances, this would increase fee levels dramatically that, you know, i presume would affect some of our fees if, in fact, this becomes law. but other than that, that's about it. >> thank you, mr.
