The VON Coalition (www.von.org) will provide demonstrations of "Voice

    Limited seating is available on a first-come, first-served basis.

The forum will be broadcast live via the Internet.  Information about how
to access the broadcast will be available on NTIA's home page at

Further fora on the policy implications of other advanced technology
applications will be scheduled throughout the year.  Announcements will
