Last week, I had the opportunity to attend an event held by an organization very similar to Wired Wisconsin. The Illinois Technology Partnership hosted ‘The Impact of Public Policy on the Tech Evolution’ last Wednesday, December 9 in downtown Chicago.

Attendees walked away with a better understanding of the importance of policies that “keep up with the pace of the technology” innovation and development.

Future-thinking technology policy is so important, especially when one looks at the connection between high-tech job creation, economic growth and a consumer’s ability to access as well as use technologies like broadband.

Maybe Wisconsin should look to our neighbors for ways to collaborate and achieve our shared goals?

A huge thank you to all the folks at Illinois Technology Partnership for a thoughtful look at the impact of technology policy for consumers!
