MNT Applications Study Contents • Part of MNT Final Report • Ties to Gov. Owen’s tech vision • Layered infrastructure • Four applications areas • Planning venues
Colorado’s Technology Vision The context for MNT Applications • Office of Innovation & Technology • “Innovation Infrastructure” • Colorado Institute of Technology • Science & Technology Commission • MNT Program • Beanpole Program • Rural priority for OED
Layered Infrastructure • Fiber and ATM Circuits • IP connectivity • Video services (H.323 bridges) • Voice services (VOIP servers) • Portal services
Physical Infrastructure • Work with Qwest to make MNT access available at the community level • DSL • Finish Beanpole • Beanpole fans MNT out to total community • Plan for NGN (Next Generation Networks)
Data Services • MNT Internet Services (DoIT) • Establish sustainable pricing • Monitor quality of service • Document growth • Assure adequacy of staff & technology
Video Services • Migration from H.320 point-to-point to H.323 network based conferencing • Avoid “islands of technology” • State-hosted MCU (bridges) • Engineering study for specs & costs • Program and funding design
Voice Services • More “islands of technology” • Many current state VOIP users can’t talk • OI/T, CLSP, CCC, DoIT • The “M” in Multiuse • Engineering study for cost & specs • Program funding and design
Portal Services • Authentication/authorization • K-12 application – • Data driven decision making • Library application – • Statewide database licensure
Four Applications Areas • Education (K12 & postsecondary) • Healthcare • e-Government • Economic Development “The State can do best in promoting applications that lie within its primary mission areas.” – Drew Bolin/OED
Education • College in the schoolhouse • Online High – 2,000 enrollments • Online Campus – 50,000 enrollments • ColoradoMentor.Org online catalog • “Closed circuit TV” classrooms • Internet2
Healthcare • CME – continuing medical education • (example: smallpox vaccinations) • Clinical services • Differ by specialty (psych. vs. surgery) • Doctor to doctor • Doctor to patient • Business issues predominate • Licensure • Reimbursement
e-Government • Examples specific to each department • E.g. • Single-point of entry for human services • Online filing for reg. agency licensure • E-store for camping, fishing, etc.
Economic Development • Market Qwest-side of MNT locally • Prepare the foundation for growth • Education, healthcare, government • Track high-tech growth by LQ • MNT fund and host on ColoradoTA • Market our economic assets • Company base • Workforce • Stimulate entrepreneurship – CAPCOs
Actions & Actors • MNT Track MNT impacts (already begun) • MNT Operations plan for MNT Internet • MNT High Tech Employment Maps • Qwest Market Qwest-side MNT • DoIT Voice & video engineering studies • GA, CDE State portal for K-12 and library • CCHE, CDE College-to-school live video courses • CCHT Telehealth issues • CIO Council Define e-Government apps • GA Fully fund Beanpole • CCHE, CDOT NGN planning
