[1st-mile-nm] Fwd: TV Whitespace Grant Opportunity - ROUND 1 DEADLINE APPROACHING

[Richard Lowenberg]

Here's an interesting, small grant opportunity.
Application deadline: March 6.   Only 5 awards; small amounts.

But, it may be a good fit for a tribal or other library in NM.

Internet access is a crucial part of a library's place in their
community. By using TV Whitespace technology, institutions may extend
their wifi far beyond the walls of their building, and into the
communities they serve.

Read details in the announcement from San Jose State University and the
Gigabit Library Network about their IMLS-funded TV Whitespace project:

APPLICATIONS FOR THE FIRST ROUND OF AWARDS ARE DUE MARCH 6TH.

To learn about the project, and the basics of how TVWS works, check out

application, please contact matthew at digitalinclusion.org

Cheers,

Matthew
