Oregon Broadband Advisory Council (OBAC)
In the 2009 Legislative Session, the Legislative Assembly created a new Oregon Broadband Advisory Council (OBAC) and a Broadband Advisory Council Fund to develop and ensure the implementation of statewide broadband strategies. The mission of OBAC is to encourage coordination and collaboration between organizations and economic sectors to leverage the development and utilization of broadband for education, workforce development, and telehealth and to promote broadband utilization by citizens and communities. The Council members represent Oregon’s cities, counties, telecommunications service providers, Tribes, educators, economic development organizations, public safety agencies, healthcare providers, e-government experts, the Public Utility Commission, the State House of Representatives and the State Senate.

OBAC is charged with reporting to the Legislative Assembly on the affordability and accessibility of broadband technology in all areas of the state and on the extent of broadband technology use in healthcare, energy management, education and government.
