On February 7, 2013 the Federal-State Joint Conference on Advanced Services (FCC), along with the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA), will hold a Summit – Broadband Adoption and Usage – What Have We Learned?
The summit will discuss best practices learned from broadband adoption programs and academic studies/surveys, and how implementation of these best practices can close the broadband adoption gap among Americans – particularly low-income households, racial and ethnic minorities, seniors, rural residents, residents of Tribal lands and people with disabilities. NTIA Administartor Lawrence E. Strickling will deliver a keynote. A webcast will be available via the FCC site.

I hope it wil be captioned in real time? FCC is a federal agency and required to provide accessibility – especially that that agency also makes laws to make information accessible.
Anticipating your comment I have already written to Susan asking her to confirm that it will be. Since accessibility is one of the topics under discussion, I’d be surprised if it wasn’t!.
Susan has confirmed that the webcast will be captioned live.
Watching it now (live). Is there any way to record and/or download it?
There are programs, like Camtasia, to record live off the screen. My own trick is to use the screen capture in the procaster webcasting software to relay to a livestream channel, that makes a back up copy on one’s pc . That is free, but takes a little setting up.and some bandwidth. . It does look like the FCC will offer an archive on their site, but it may take a little while.
