<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Hello Ron:<br>
<br>
Thank you for noticing and reading this update. I believe that the
newsletter needs some refining, that's probably what led you
noting that our update on this project as hidden, I think :-). <br>
<br>
Susannah, put it perfectly below. I have been Project Lead on
this for the full year and engineered the BNET grant process while
the Chapter Chair in 2016 so we have been sending frequent updates
since then to the NARALO community. We just completed the project
at the end of January 2018. <br>
<br>
For more information on the project (incase you missed past
updates) and upcoming Silicon Valley Agtech Conference
(<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.svagtech.org/wp/">https://www.svagtech.org/wp/</a>) where we will debut the project
report (To be presented by CSU Chico/GIC) please visit our website

Feel free to share this information.<br>

Interesting report buried in the from ISOC-SF on mobile
broadband (or lack thereof) in CA farmlands.. </blockquote>
- Not intentionally buried! We've tried to include updates on this
project in every newsletter since the project began.
<blockquote type="cite"

the main point was to discredit the CA PUC’s testing of mobile
broadband which tends to just test along major roads.. not in
the farms themselves.. and thus shame the PUC into changing
their testing methodology and ultimately pressure the mobile
operators into more tower density in agricultural areas..
thanks for including! </blockquote>
- The main purpose of the project was to show that the speeds that
providers say they are providing in rural areas are not quite
correct and to use the results to inform public policy on rural
development. Many of the measurements in our project also took
place on public roads (155 sites) as getting access to private
farmlands is difficult. But we were fortunately able to take
measurements on five different ranches (at seven separate sites).

good luck getting the PUC’s attention next with this report.</blockquote>
- Thanks: we have the support of CA State Broadband Coordinator
Chief Strategy Officer for Agriculture Technology and Innovation,
Robert Tse, who has already had discussions on the project in D.C
as well as with other states looking to replicate the project in
their own regions. <br>
<br>
We're also working on a video of the project which we'll release
soon and will be highlighting the results of the project at the
Silicon Valley AgTech conference in May. <br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
