YOUR VO!CE - Communications Technology (An Initiative of the Mt. Hood Cable Regulatory Commission)
The Mt. Hood Cable Regulatory Commission (MHCRC) recognizes that in order for our community to maintain its livability in the face of enormous technological changes, we must come together to define our communications technology needs and interests, imagine our future, prioritize our goals and coordinate our actions.
The MHCRC has embarked on a broad scale (not just cable franchise related) ascertainment process – the Your Voice – Our Communciations Technology initiative - to identify our local community communications technology needs and interests. The MHCRC will use the information gathered to inform the MHCRC and local decision makers as they develop long range plans that incorporate the community vision of communications technology in public policies, program initiatives and capital investments. In addition, the ascertainment results will be utilized to identify potential cable-related public benefits for consideration in an upcoming Comcast cable franchise renewal.
The target “communities” for the YourVoice initiative are geographically located within the Cities of Gresham, Fairview, Portland, Troutdale and Wood Village, and Multnomah County, Oregon.
