The MDT Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) Program encourages and supports the participation of companies owned and controlled by socially and economically disadvantaged individuals in transportation contracts.

For Seattle to remain competitive, it must develop an advanced broadband Internet network that is capable of delivering voice, video and data to businesses and homes. And it must do so quickly, rolling out the high-speed system within the next 10 years.

That’s one of the findings of the Broadband and Telecommunications Task Force, which plans to release a report today that encourages city leaders to act now or face the prospect of falling behind other regions.

"Seattle cannot afford to dawdle," Steven Clifford, chairman of the task force and the former chief executive of King Broadcasting Co., wrote in a draft report. "Broadband networks will soon become what roads, electric systems and telephone networks are today: core infrastructure of society."
