This document summarizes a presentation about the economic impacts of gigabit internet networks. It discusses how higher broadband speeds are correlated with higher incomes, education levels, home values and other economic benefits. The presentation analyzes Connecticut town-level data to identify towns that may benefit most from increased broadband speeds. Top and bottom towns are identified for potential economic gains if speeds increased from 10/2 Mbps to 50/10 Mbps, 50/10 Mbps to 100/25 Mbps, and 100/25 Mbps to 200/50 Mbps. Increased broadband speeds could provide significant economic development and tax revenue impacts for certain Connecticut towns.

Shale gas potential in Mexico has been identified by government, Mexican National Oil Company - PEMEX, and international petroleum industry, as a great opportunity for resources development in order to solve increasing natural gas demand.
Large gas pipeline extension and power generation projects have been launched and others are on the way according to National Infrastructure Program. In the mid-term U.S. gas exports are expected to continuously rise, which for some political parties is a threat to Mexican energy independence.
The upcoming Round One bids for onshore fields will comprise Unconventional resources including Shale Gas, Shale Oil and Chicontepec. The aim of this study is to evaluate Shale Gas development profitability for different gas prices, costs and royalties and more important to develop fiscal and contract incentives alternatives based on geological trends, current well construction technologies, technical risks and market risk.

Connecticut Technology Council's HR Forum Series - Better Together, Building ...Kathleen Magboo
On Thursday September 29, 2016 the Connecticut Technology Council hosted the second program in their HR Forum Series - Better Together, Building a Robust Tech Talent Pipeline in Connecticut at Medtronic in North Haven. The focus of the Forum was Branding: Impacting Technical Talent in CT and Beyond. A diverse panel representing academia, industry, and the State lead a robust discussion on the topic. Those in attendance actively participated and opted to linger after the official close of the program to continue talking through some of the issues that were raised and to network among themselves.
