reach their full potential in
telecommunications, Ans-
boury said funding for rural
public services is an issue.
“In the last two years we
have seen the Internet ex
plode and become a vehicle for
delivery of content over the
telecommunications infra
structure,” he said.
For infrastructure basic
service in every Texas school
of grades kindergarten
through 12th, the cost of one
computer in every classroom
would be $1.5 billion.
To develop funding for pub
lic services, the bill created a
Telecommunications Funding
Board to collect a $1.5 billion
award to public services.
Along with money, the
board will also provide mater
ial and curriculum for schools
and universities.
"If you do not have curriculum
and knowledge of the equipment it
just sits idle."
— Mark Ansboury
manager of the Texas Telecommunications Division
“If you do not have curricu
lum and knowledge of the
equipment it just sits idle,”
Ansboury said. “I have seen
schools purchase telecommu
nications material just for the
sake of spending money on
hardware and not ever use it.”
Ansboury said that because
of the shortage of funds and
fast pace technology, he has
seen more government at the
city and federal level team up
with schools and univf: s
to obtain telecommunij
hardware.
