". . . the publication, Global Information Infrastructure: Agenda for Cooperation. It provides both a comprehensive and well-reasoned approach to the issues which need to be addressed in the development and implementation of a global information infrastructure."
Allen Z. Miller, Executive Director, Government Affairs, EDS
". . . regarding the Latin America conference . . . delegation received many benefits . . . instrumental in enabling us to sign a contract for communication equipment . . . after the close of the conference. . ."
Dennis C. Connors, Vice-President - Marketing & Engineering, Ericsson Inc.
". . . pleased with the results of the [Latin American Telecommunications] Summit because it enabled many of the telecommunications leaders from Latin America to get a first-hand look at Globalstar. More importantly, it gave Globalstar an opportunity to hear how each market is progressing in the development of its telecommunications infrastructure."
Marc Newman, General Manager, Globalstar
". . . through the successful efforts of our delegation we were able to realize our goal at the CPM [Conference Preparatory Meeting] and attain an advantageous technical basis going into WRC- 95 [World Radiocommunications Conference]. The U.S. Delegation Head has expressed his opinion that the 1995 CPM Delegation was one of the strongest U.S. teams ever to attend an ITU [International Telecommunication Union] meeting. The extraordinary team effort exhibited in the preparation for and execution of this meeting greatly advanced U.S. national efforts for WRC-95. NTIA can take pride in its contribution to this accomplishment."
Ambassador Vonya B. McCann, U.S. Coordinator, International Communications and Information Policy, Department of State
". . . express my appreciation to NTIA's Institute for Telecommunication Sciences in Boulder, Colorado, for their professional research work under a recent Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA). . . results of this work were central to Motorola efforts to advance U.S. marketing of personal communications systems in Hong Kong . . . resulted in Motorola receiving a license to operate a CDMA personal communication service in Hong Kong. This license may have potential value of up to $100 million to our company."
Charles N. Lynk, Jr., V.P. of Technical Staff and Director of Fort Worth Research Laboratories, Motorola, Inc.
". . . You are truly an outstanding agency. Your programs were helpful to us beyond our wildest expectations. They were very well-written and accessible to us as non-engineers. More importantly, you were there for us when we needed you. . . We were under extreme time pressure to complete FCC applications, and it was wonderful to encounter people who were so willing to help and be understanding."
Richard Bradford, Wasatch Value Vision, L. C.
". . . [NTIA's] Institute for Telecommunication Sciences has contributed immeasurably to the progress made toward the timely development, testing, and fielding of an effective RCAS [Reserve Component Automation System]. . . This accomplishment is made especially notable due to the unusual size and complexity of the RCAS and by the fact that these successes were achieved on a timetable that normally is considered impossible even for smaller and simpler systems. . ."
Gary A. Stemley, Major General, Department of the Army
". . . Your [NTIA's William Utlaut] comments are most insightful and provide the kind of useful input so necessary in a novel technical situation such as this one... We are grateful for the obvious effort and expertise which you have rendered."
Thomas P. Stanley, Chief Engineer, Federal Communications Commission
"The funding that we received was to help in starting a community computer network which will provide access to local, state, national and international information for seven counties in Washington and Idaho states. . . Our region will be information rich, where before we have been isolated. . . the TIIAP grants are not a free lunch! They require significant community involvement, not only to provide the matching funds, but to keep the project running. TINCAN has seen an alliance of school districts, community colleges, economic development councils, businesses and others who have responded to the seed money provided by the TIIAP grant..."
Karen L. Michaelson, Ph.D., Associate Vice Provost for Research and Organizer for TINCAN (The Inland Northwest Community Access Network)
". . . Although many of our settlement house programs are funded by government agencies and all of them recognize that an investment in information technology is necessary to increase efficiency, no other program has TIIAP's broad mandate to cut across categorical boundaries in order to achieve the efficiencies that information technology promises. Therefore, we are deeply grateful to the TIIAP program for making available funds to install our information infrastructure on a pilot basis."
Maxine L. Rockoff, Ph.D., Director, Information Technology, United Neighborhood Houses of New York
". . . We are confident the [TIIAP] grant is largely responsible for moving our economic development efforts to new heights and will result in thousands of new, higher paying jobs in this area. . . We have decided that the Kansas City area will be an be known as the best place in this country to do business electronically."
Wayne Little, Vice President- Technology, SmartCities
The A*DEC Distance Education Consortium (formerly AG*SAT) reaches into more than 2000 rural and local Extension locations across the nation. NTIA grants from PTFP funds -- including the 1995 $300,000 matching grant just awarded -- are making education possible for place-bound rural and underserved audiences. A*DEC members are developing local community participation centers and introducing grassroots individuals and groups to digital communication through terrestrial and satellite based systems. The 47 land grant university members, including institutions from Maine to Florida to Tuskegee to Minnesota to Texas to California, are committed to doing business differently in the information age. NTIA funding -- particularly the PTFP and TIIAP programs -- are an essential element to changing the rural and underserved formula. These audiences can't wait until someone finally notices they've been overlooked.
Janet Poley, President A*DEC
". . . the potential benefits of the upgraded PEACESAT service are enormous. Doctors and other health professionals will for the first time have access to the vast number of data bases containing information that will assist them in diagnosis and treatment. They will also be able to rapidly exchange research findings and clinical experiences with colleagues around the world."
Dr. Kevin L. Palmer, Country Liaison Officer, World Health Organization- Solomon Islands
