CALL FOR PAPERS: Journal of Municipal Telecommunications
Deadlines for Debut Issue (April) Feb 15: send email telling us of intent to submit Feb 28: manuscripts due details at www.civic.net/jmt/authors
In April, the Center for Civic Networking will begin publishing a peer-reviewed Journal of Municipal Telecommunications. - focusing on the role of local government in developing telecommunications infrastructure.
Local telecommunications issues - wireless antenna siting, construction of municipally-owned telecom. utilties, cable refranchising, etc. - have become hotly contentious and surrounded by misinformation. The Journal will provide hard data and case studies needed for solid planning and decision making.
Audience: Elected Officials, City & Town Managers, Advisory Board Members, Department Heads, staff members, regulators, attorneys, equipment and service providers, academics, interested citizens, and members of the media who are concerned with telecommunications issues.
We seek submissions from practitioners and analysts - decision makers, staff, attorneys, consultants - with hands-on knowledge of municipal telecommunications issues. If you're a city manager, who's just lead an innovative telecommunications effort, you're the kind of author we're seeking.
Topics of interest include: Wireless antenna siting; right-of-way management; attachments to poles, ducts, conduits and rights of way; cable refranchising; telecommunications ordinances; community-wide telecommunications infrastructure; delivery of municipal services by wire; use of the Internet to support public policy decisions; organizational development and change around new information systems; impact of telecommunications on local economies; state barriers to entry; strategic partnerships; "smart communities;" and universal service.
We are particularly interested in case studies of innovative solutions to contentious issues (e.g. successful antenna ordinances, city-operated telecommunications utilities). We're also interested in lessons learned from efforts that didn't work out.
We seek 4 to 8 page case studies that detail the problem addressed, options considered, decisions made (and why), implementation, results, and recommendations for other communities based on lessons learned.
