The Congressional Internet Caucus not only delivers a comprehensive policy discussion at the State of the Internet conference, but also lets the audience experience the technology hands-on at the Kickoff Technology Policy Exhibition. The reception area was packed last evening with members and staff perusing exhibit booths, which included demonstrations from broadband companies that included AT&T.

One of the busiest booths was that of Connected Nation, the organization that facilitates public-private partnerships to deliver broadband to underserved areas. Connected Nation has teamed up with ESRI to create interactive broadband coverage maps. This new mapping application, called BroadbandStat, analyzes the broadband landscape and will help with stimulus tracking, consumer information, and economic development.

Take a virtual walk through the floor and watch an interview with Connected Nation and ESRI below!!
