11 - U.S. UCAN - Advancing Gigabit Applications
The U.S. UCAN Program connects over 84,000 K-12 schools, 4,200 public libraries, and thousands of colleges, universities, and healthcare organizations to high-speed networks to test and develop applications that take advantage of gigabit speeds. The program works with developers to implement, monitor, evaluate, and promote new applications, providing guidance on instructions, intended benefits and audiences, and collecting feedback to demonstrate value, transform institutions, and facilitate collaboration across communities.

Editor's Notes
- #4 Participation Identify CAIs interested in trying new things, find a champion for each organization. Ensure that programmatic and technical leadership is on board or “bought in.” Develop mini-community– shared experience. Implementation Use and deployment requirements. Key success factors, challenges, and implementation requirements. Means to measure or demonstrate impact. Monitoring App use best practices and required process adjustments for deployment. Refinements, new features, or bugs to address. Means to measure and document success in use, impact. Evaluation Application enabled CAI metrics. Lessons learned in CAI application deployment. Efficacy of Testbed approach. Promotion: To facilitate local outreach and public relations to highlight Testbed impact. To showcase and publicize efforts to attract additional CAIs and communities.
- #5 Big Picture Demonstrate the value of gig networks Transform how CAIs serve communities through gigabit applications. Facilitate cross-region/city CAI collaboration and partnerships. Nuts and Bolts Provide feedback cycle for developer. Provide technical and programmatic CAI application implementation and use documentation. Identify metrics and demonstrate impact of adoption.
