Make sure whatever you invest in is upgradable, so you can keep up with technological advances. Assess Your Resources. Learn what the community has in terms of technology, training, networks and expertise, and what is needed to connect to the Internet. Taking a full inventory of hardware, software, network capabilities and physical facilities will help with this process. Because a basic connection to the Internet requires only one phone or cable line, a sophisticated system does not need to be in place to start reaping the benefits.
Connection is an incremental process.
Establish a dynamic, flexible plan that can change with the needs of the community and advancements in technology. There will be challenges to overcome. They could be anything from opposition to the plan, to a facility not built for wiring, or lack of time for training. Patience, determination and creative problem solving will be necessary. Community Training Technology is most useful to those who know how to apply it.
