Title: Hearing to discuss how the City can have a more consumer-driven rather than tech industry-driven process for establishing a TechConnect network in San Francisco. What is the DTIS' plan to ensure that TechConnect will bridge the digital divide and not simply serve people who are already connected to wireless technology? What criteria is the DTIS using to decide upon a tech provider? How will DTIS provide valuable public forums to assure the broadest possible discussion for TechConnect programs that meet the needs of underserved communities?
