This is shorter-fuse than I'd like, but it might be of interest to some on
this list:

We are organizing the *BRW'20 (Broadband Research Workshops 2020)*,
sponsored by the U.S. National Science Foundation. The workshops will
produce a report for NSF defining the key research goals for broadband in
the United States for the next five or so years, while also reflecting on
earlier research accomplishments and gaps.

The workshop series will consist of three workshops, each with a different
main theme: *Broadband Technology*, *Broadband Economics* and *Digital
Inclusion*.

Each of these three workshops will take place over two afternoons (U.S.
Eastern Time), via videoconference. You can find dates, times and other
details at https://sites.google.com/view/broadbandresearch2020

The workshops will be focused on producing the report for NSF, based on
participant contributions, i.e., there will be no or minimal presentations.
The workshops will operate under Chatham House rules and are not open to
the public.
We are soliciting contributions by interested researchers. If you
are interested in participating, please submit your short (2-3 page)
position paper to https://edas.info/N27906 by October 30, 2020. We will
then select participants from among the submissions. Please be sure to read
the "Background" page, as the scope of this workshop is relatively narrow.
(Data center, enterprise and backbone networks are beyond the scope of this
workshop, for example. Upper-layer protocols are also unlikely to be
included except as drivers of broadband deployments.)
