NextGenWeb was on-site to live-stream the final round of the contest between Arizona and Illinois.   Both teams did a fantastic job answering questions about a variety of consumer topics such as economics, health care, telecommunications and energy.   It was close, but the team from Arizona took the gold!

After the competition, NextGenWeb caught up with the five winning students on the Arizona team.   These students, who are all home schooled, had great ideas about broadband’s benefits to their generation.   Since much of their education is conducted in the home, these students are already familiar with the many benefits of e-learning.   They also stated that broadband access will be an integral part of daily life in the future.
