Tablets topic of next broadband webinar

You see them everywhere you go nowadays – tablet computers. But just what makes them so handy, and what are the downsides? To help answer that question, join the Nebraska Broadband Webinar scheduled Wednesday, March 21.

"Tablet Integration in a Small Business Environment" is scheduled to begin at 10 a.m. Central Time/9:00 a.m. Mountain Time, at connect.unl.edu/broadband.

Tim Lindahl of Wheat Belt Public Power in Sidney will present real-world business applications, from the board room to the hotel room. Lindahl will show how these devices can improve efficiency, productivity and communication. He also will discuss some drawbacks and things one needs to plan and prepare for before using these devices, including security and privacy issues.

All webinars are recorded and can be viewed at broadband.nebraska.gov. Also join us on Facebook and Twitter to engage in the conversation.

This is the seventh webinar in a series funded by a grant to the Nebraska Public Service Commission by the U.S. Department of Commerce's National Telecommunications and Information Administration. The Broadband Mapping and Planning Initiative has been conducted by a coalition of Nebraska partners, including the PSC, University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension, the UNL Center for Applied Rural Innovation, the Nebraska Information Technology Commission's Communication Council, the AIM Institute and the Nebraska Department of Economic Development.
