I am developing a pilot study at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign to examine what role Public, Educational, and Governmental (PEG) access television stations are playing in the NTIA’s Broadband Technology Opportunities Program.
The purpose of the study is to understand how PEG access centers support sustainable broadband adoption through the use of public computing centers, digital and media literacy training, and other critical community services. This topic is also the focus of my dissertation.
I’ve created a Google Doc to begin compiling this list of PEG Access centers. Please feel free to add your center to the document.
If your PEG access center is involved – either directly or indirectly – in a BTOP project in your state, I hope you will consider contacting me at crhines (AT) illinois (DOT) edu. Please also consider leaving a comment below and I will look forward to following up with you.
Thank you for your time.

If you need some Drupal help, I’d be happy to revise that list vs. starting a new one.

/ August 25, 2011Hi Kevin,
Thanks for your reply. I totally agree.
I’m not yet sure how big the list will be, but it might also be a great addition to the Community Media Database: http://communitymediadatabase.org/ We definitely need somewhere to map this data, and I’d be interested in any additional ideas that you might have.
