Modavox, Inc. (OTCBB:MDVX), Internet broadcasting pioneer and holder of several patented technologies, today announced that it solidified an agreement with the Arizona Telecommunications and Information Council (ATIC) to host the non-partisan Arizona Technology Council’s Technology Town Forum in Tucson, Arizona. Modavox was again chosen to provide the ATIC with web-casting services with their patented streaming audio and video technology that will facilitate the delivery of this Town Forum.
Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords (D) and Senator Tim Bee (R), the candidates for Arizona’s 8th congressional District, were at this moderated forum that had audience questions and answers and prepared questions covering the critical issues facing Southern Arizona’s technology industry, including the candidates’ views on the financial crisis and plans for economic recovery, improving education and attracting more students to study science, technology, engineering and math, reforming H1B Visa law, investments in federally funded research and development programs, reauthorization of and changes to the existing SBIR legislation, reducing the cost of healthcare, efforts to achieve energy independence, and more.
The Arizona Technology Council’s Technology Town Forum was held Thursday, October 30, 2008 from 5:00 PM – 7:30 PM PST at the Pima Community College District Office, Community Board Room, #C105. The link, www.modavox.com/events/aztech/1008/, has been set up to view the forum in its entirety.
Nathan Bradley, Chief Technology and Product Officer for Modavox, Inc., stated, “Making this webcast available during the final weekend and final day of this important Congressional race in Arizona provides a further demonstration of how our patented BoomBox(TM) live broadcasting product enables expansion of participation as well as a broadcast extension of this debate event. Just recently our BoomBox(TM) product has enabled a Sustainability Summit hosted by ASU and the New York Times Knowledge Network live from Washington, DC and Governor Janet Napolitano’s State of the State address to reach well beyond their normal capability. Our broadcast reach is global and our publishing, distribution, and targeted advertising software is exclusive to our customers. We will continue making progress in finding the right venues and events to execute scalable pay-per-view, sponsored and advertising based revenue from BoomBox(TM).”
