Afterschool programs and how they can prepare students for the future work horse. We will year from the mayors of charlotte, North Carolina and gary, indiana. This is about 45 minutes. I am going to lead everyone in a stretch. In my secret life, i am a spin instructor. This Athletic Panel meant a lot to me. Before we get started, i wanted to say because i have had the honor of working with almost all of you in this room. After school is such a special place. It makes such a difference in the lives of the kids, and the families in the communities that we serve. It has a huge ripple effect. The reason we have been able to save and expand this program is because of all of you. And the tremendous leadership and voice of or Arnold Schwarzenegger down to some of the people that are not represented here, our staff. They create the dreams. I just wanted to thank you all. Give yourself a round of applause. We have such an amazing array of talent. We really want to prepare our kids for the workforce. And going back to the entrepreneurial drive how do we get our kids to really see themselves with the jobs of the future . The jobs we need here in america. It will be how we make america great. There has been a lot of attention on our military. Homeland security. Growing our defense. But to have a strong military, we need strong people in the military. A viceally happy to have admiral here. As we all know, military provides not only training for our kids but a great career path and opportunity. What are some of the recruiting challenges the military is facing . What role can afterschool play in conquering those challenges . If we look at Afterschool Programs, if you run into people who dont believe that making an investment in the youth is the right thing to do, let me offer you a different view. , 1825, 71 of them do not qualified to join the military. 71 . They go into three large buckets. Obesity, not completing high school, or having a criminal record. From the earlier panelists, and the research that many of you have access to, our Afterschool Programs go to the root causes that create those barriers. Meeting the minimums. In addition to that, as we talked about the changes that exist in our workforce today, it is an increasingly complex world that the military needs to operate in. So we also need youth coming in with higher and skills to go through the technology and the complex workplace. Afterschool programs offer that opportunity for access, they as so manyatter, but people described, it is really the ability to dream and to have access, and to see themselves in that work place and the possibility and a path to that possibility. If we do not make the investment, we are already experiencing difficulties in recruiting for the military. Think of all of the other segments of our workforce that are affected. First responders, our traits. It is a wide reaching impact. It just so happens that the military has some data we can apply. This goes far beyond the military. The future of our nation and it is a National Security imperative. Thank you. Clap. Se as we think about other sectors, obviously, high tech is one of the most exciting and challenging areas of new jobs in america. And it is one of the places that our country is really ask excelling. I wanted to ask you michael, what do Afterschool Programs do to encourage students to learn about and prepare for the jobs in the hightech world . It is an honor to be on such a distinguished panel. Everyone is doing such a great job for Afterschool Programs. Looking at our industry, Internet Companies, these are high skilled, high tech jobs in all 50 states. U. S. Ve a shortfall in the of kids that are graduating with the education in the stem fields in particular, for computer coding and engineers, there are so many jobs. Next year, the shortfall will be almost 250,000 person show fall of u. S. Based students graduating with the skills needed to work for Internet Companies and hightech companies. The jobs have to come from somewhere. By getting kids involved early, particularly middle school, to show them a path forward. We have had an opportunity to work with the afterschool allstars in bringing car in bringing kids around to some of our companies. When you see these middle school kids Walking Around our companies talking to the engineers and they see and learn how they got there, they can see a path forward. Study mathte, if i and science and i stay in school , i can work at a great place like this and have a high paying job and have a future. It sets a bar in a way that they might not have thought of otherwise. That is what we want. Part of it is for selfish reasons also. We want to have this dunes here are up in the u. S. And learn and have a diverse and educated workforce that we are able to get domestically. We want to instill that an part of that is starting in middle school and being involved in Afterschool Programs. Those three hours afterschool have a huge impact on their lives and we want to be a part of that. Excellent, thank you. Afterschool, we all do do our homework on research and data. The stories and the kids that drive us. Having the research and the data behind it really helps us make the case. Roberts, i want to ask you about charlottes task force and the report on economic mobility for children. What you found and what are the implications for afterschool . I have my show and tell here. I have a copy of the Task Force Report right here. Important to have show and tell. Ourad a coming together of counties, and Business Leaders around the opportunity gap that exists in charlotte and many of our major cities. We were spurred by a report that came out, done by harvard and berkeley, that look at generational poverty and the povertyof folks born in to move out of that poverty within a generation. Charlotte ranked the lowest of the 50 major metropolitan areas. We do not like being last in anything. Us what that did was bring the political will and the governor talked about bringing republicans and democrats together. We focused our entire community on changing that statistic. Report, they looked at so many things in two years but they wanted to have a blueprint for implementation and a scorecard, a way to actually make sure that things were getting implemented that were recommended. When you look at the areas that they chose to focus on, if you are going to change then ration of poverty, you have to focus on the young people. The three areas that we looked at were early childhood, college and Career Readiness, and then Family Structure and support. And in all three of those areas, Afterschool Programs play a role. Thatis so interesting is again if you were going to change the opportunity gap, and we were very conscious as a community to look at our systemic barriers that children born in a tough neighborhood, with concentrations of poverty, one. Families, some of these systemic, racial barriers we have in our communities because of the way that we developed and racial segregation that was written into law in many communities in our country. If you look at the wording for the afterschool components, expand access to quality out of integratee that academic support with career awareness, exploration and preparation and connects more students to opportunities. Awareness conscious that Afterschool Programs do that connecting that you do not have time to do during the seven our school day. Connecting the learning to what it looks like for a career. We have great things going on in charlotte and we need to help fund them better and coordinate them better. But there are things Like Technology jobs that go unfilled. We have talent right there in charlotte. We have created things like a group called hip hop university. Students to technology through hiphop. It is fun and creative. All of that video stuff, that is really technical. Goes on a lot that there that kids are really good at learning. That is away way into a possible career they can have later whether it is in media, technology, i. T. , software development. These are the kinds of things that we have to come together as a community to help implement and support. We are working with some of our area businesses to support that who see that technology need. Microsoft has stepped up. Other Software Companies we of the largest bank in the country, bank of america, has been a great supporter. We need to continue to focus. What is interesting is that as mayor, i have no technical responsibility for our schools. We have a school board funded by the state and the county. The city focuses on infrastructure. But i also get in front of a lot of people and i can be a convener and i know that our workforce is not going to survive and grow and thrive without focusing on kids. And on families. The Afterschool Program and the link to Career Readiness and awareness. I have talked a lot as mayor about how we bring people together to support our schools. Afterschool programs are very nimble, and active, creative, and responsive. The schools have so much curricula challenge and policy challenge but our Afterschool Programs can fill in the gaps much more quickly. We have helped empower and mobilize our private sector, and our Nonprofit Sector to see how we fill in those gaps for Technology Training for example. To can we nimble and respond these challenges. 20 years ago, you did not have social media managers. There will be more jobs in robotics and other things that we as adults cannot even foresee and that we have to help our kids the open to planning for and to give them those critical connections through Afterschool Programs. Back to the get value of partnerships. But first, brirn brittany, i wao talk to you. We had a really wonderful discussion about your Afterschool Programs. When we talk about pursuing your dreeption, you didnt dreams, you didnt think you could pursue a career in art, growing up. How did your Afterschool Programs, gold crown, convince follow youru to dreams . Well, i joined when i was 11, i was just a lonely kid in middle school. I didnt know anybody. Brother was in that program. And i went after school. Loved. Ound what i and i didnt realize i loved art to college. Ed to go and i went to community college, didnt know what i wanted to do. Forensice, oh, science, like. But that wasnt what i was about. Ate it was art. So my coordinators helped me get to that point to where i was can do this. I can be a freelance illustrator, no matter how hard is. How competitive it i can do it, as long as i believe in myself. I know you talked to me a lot how it was almost a family, your Afterschool Programs. They definitely are. What do you think youd be didnt have the fortune to go to gold crown . Who knows . I dont even know so. [laughter] you who dor those of want to know what shes doing now, stop by later and make sure postcards and the art. Because, as matt said, it is spectacular. Ive been talking to her about her myself, when this conference is over. I have stuff. Take it. [laughter] wilson, as freeman mayor, we heard this from mayor roberts, do you see the multiple ways that Afterschool Programs can really impact our students, families and our communities . Why are you a champion for these programs . Well, im a champion because multiple ways that Afterschool Programs help and ultimately help in the community. And in gary, were a little anderent from charlotte other cities. Were literally rebuilding a bymunity that has been hit financial disasters result a result of a reduction in industry. And so when youre rebuilding while there is a time that you focus on adults, has to be onocus the children. And its to provide for them. Ies and to really set a high bar. Typically, for us, our parents set that bar. The seventher in grade, coming home and having my of middlert card school, four as and two bs. I was pretty satisfied with myself. And my dad looked at me and he said, what about those two bs . And from then on, that was my the b. Not to have except in physics, where i would get a b inlad to physics, but thats another conversation. An Afterschool Programs for you. I still need it. Ha ha that ouroint is children dont always now have those expectations set. Not that our parents dont love them or that they thosewant to set expectations. But theyre so busy trying to food, clothing, shelter. And they have their own set of challenges. And so, in the Afterschool Programs, we can set expectation. We can provide additional exposure. Can provide opportunities to see things that you dont television. See on our children watch an inordinate today. Of television and they watch many of the same things. Videos, reality television, and, you know, theres nothing wrong, governor, with reality t. V. , in context now. [laughter] but, you know, they dont always see they always see things on reality t. V. If we can widen those horizons into the mayor talked about the hiphop university, in passions at our boys and girls clubs, they are developing a recording studio, we know that everybody, you know, has a rap career in future. [laughter] well, okay, so maybe its not producing. It may be it may be serving as a sound engineer. Many opportunities. A videographer. To really tap into that passion but we also want to raise the bar. Not employment but maybe its becoming a food with theeur to deal food deserts in our community. Were doing all of those things our Afterschool Programs in gary. Awesome. [applause] want to put ado plugin, when you talk about yearss, i think in my 12 in working in this field actually, its much longer than 12 years here, we have really seen an explosion of in. E. M. Learning afterschool. Its been extraordinary. So if you go to todays are very, very thoughtful s. T. E. M. Curriculums, aboutlly get kids excited the sciences, about math, about engineering. Theirt, you know, schoolwork becomes alive and they can be ready for these jobs. Organizations,r they have its the link which organization. But we have s. T. E. M. Scouting for girls and boys in the community. [applause] so speaking of s. T. E. M. , and to focus on partnerships, because partnerships are essential to everything we do. Thing that we dont take about a lot is when you look at 21st century learning centers, its a federally funded program for before school and after summer. N the average program has six partners working together to resources to our kids. But one voice that we all are weays searching for and really need that is incredibly powerful is the business voice. What advice do you have for all of us . How do we get more Business Leaders like you and your company to be speaking out about the power of afterschool . Great question. Dismayed thatim kids are watching t. V. They need to be on apps more and [laughter] stay on the computer. I dont know what theyre watching t. V. For. Thats terrible. [laughter] ha ha you know what . I think part of it is the community, certainly from Internet Companies, theyre working very hard to increase the diversity in their companies have sure that wre we have the workforce we need so companies can grow and create more jobs. The jobs are going to be there this industry grows and becomes a larger share of our economy from coast to coast. Part of it, just as i was struck by the conversation earlier governor schwarzenegger, about giving a ladder to these students, starting early, path fromem the middle school to high school to college on to a career in passionateeyre about, hopefully in the s. T. E. M. Fields, working for an internet company, but the same maybe is the corporate side, is showing the companies that if theyre investing in the in their community, and many are, and making sure that engineersving their volunteer and creating opportunities where kids can and and visit the campuses visit the companies and see and inspired, thats something that our companies certainly are doing increase gri. But wed like to see it happen at a broader section of Technology Companies and a broader section of companies within our economy to invest in young withty, Start Middle School kids and be involved with the Afterschool Programs, because one day the at the Afterschool Program in gary, indiana, or carolina, mayth be the founder of the next great engineerr might be an at facebook or twitter or snapchat here in southern california. And thats what its all about. And so our companies certainly are doing it. But wed like to see more. Excellent. Mayor, i want to turn to you, because i know you mentioned some of the business partnerships. Want to ask you, who are your partners in charlotte, and what is charlotte next . Sure. So one of the things that we we have a number of initiatives that are correlating with our Task Force Report. The initiatives, soon after i became mayor, was called charlotte next. Funded entirely by our corporate partners. One of the things i learned in dealing with city budgets is that theres never enough. And all of your colleagues on council are always struggling for the same dollars you are. So i got impatient and said, well, im just going to go out to the private sector and do this. And i tell you, the case you can make with employers, when they of talent andne they recognize that there are gaps, and there are gaps in content, gaps geographically, gaps in diversity, socioeconomic status, gender gaps, racial gaps. And so they really want to partner to change that workforce, for them as well. So with charlotte next, we and say,o look around you know what . Parents dont know what out there. Es are and they dont know what is low cost or no cost, because the barrier is having to pay for some of these amazing things. Karate, choir, ballet, all these things, but i was able to pay for that. Parents cant. And they also had transportation challenges. So the first thing we noticed is have an intermediary. Well, we do now. We didnt have an intermediary helped parents connect with the information, that helped the a source so they know where their programs are, whats the content, what is the adultstudent ratio, some of the basic things they needed to know to really connect the things that were already there. So charlotte next is going to locator. H that and really be the repository for springingnew programs up. Now that we have our report that tells everyone, yes, you can do programs, andl yes, its going to make a huge economic mobility for all of our communitier. And the next thing theyre going is help provide mini grants, because now we have a recognizefolks who do that they do need productive, challengeograms in neighborhoods and they need money to get started. So were going to have some mini part of charlotte next. Finally, were going to work in professional development. Toot of folks who are trying connect our youth to technology didnt grow up with technology, including me. All immigrants to the world of technology. Sometimes you can get teaching some of these courses but you need to have the ability to build on the community have in the and then also train the talent thats there. Third part of what charlotte next is going to do. We completely went to corporate we knew cared about education. We are a banking town. So we have a number of banks who in that. Ved were also the home for duke energy. Ibm, a have microsoft, number of folks, soft ware companies that are working with our financial sector, because theyre coming up with all kinds payments, processing and software tailored to their clients. Of these companies have a desire to connect that starting inven middle school. And thats what charlotte next is starting with those middle students. The other connector there is that we see we talked about forng productive things kids to do to keep them off the streets. Our Police Officers are starting connect their programs to middle school, because if you start to lose a child at age 12, its really hard to get them 16. When theyre 15 or you have got to reach into our middle schools. So our Police Diversion program, is keeping our kids from having that first jail oferience so they stay out that school to prison pipeline, on boarde chief is with this as well. And so it really is a winwinwin. I feel for the folks originally who said it was hard to find because people are not as interested in kids. Had somely i pushback when i said as mayor i care about kids and i want to our kids succeed. I got some pushback, stay in things. E, these kind of i hate lanes. [laughter] so thats what charlotte next is all about. Youfunders out there, if want to help me make this thing grow, please see me afterwards. Thank you. Glad that you brought up law enforcement, because thats another incredibly strong ally many of ourin programs. Mayor freeman wilson, i wanted aresk you, in gary, who some of the partners that youre working with . Well, we have a number of partners in our Faith Community. In fact, two of the premier are run by an extension citye Faith Community, the lights program, that has mentoring for boys as well as the foodbased program that i talked about, the urban farm program, which is run by a c. D. C. Called Faith Community partners. The ywca is a key partner. Scouts, both girl and boy scouts have incorporated their programming into Afterschool Programs because thats important. And our boys and girls club are key partner. The city came together with the community. Our energy partner, they led an 5 million into a renovation of a building, one for the boyshools, and girls club, one of the premier boys and girls clubs in state. So that has been a Key Partnership for us as well. The city is a, partner, because we understand the importance. City, through the development, the provision of agricultural, department of ag funding, or afterschool and other ams, even the summer programs, summer the stateograms, and is our newest partner. In fact, i was on a call today coming instate is with tanf dollars, extremely our city as well. Excellent. All the leveraging, which is what makes these programs possible. Admiral breckenridge, you now Afterschool Program, and im wondering, what are some of the most impactful things you have seen with this program . Why are you doing your work there . Just talk broadly first about military partners, military to be strong, we really need all sectors of our economy to be strong. Military has a very large of itsn component, part workforce. But also, to get its work done, if i look at the coast guard, part of the department of security, its the only military piece. Everyone else is civilian. Done, law the job enforcement is a very big partner for us. Need all of those sectors to be healthy, which is why, in the military programs, mission readiness, retired over 600 military leaders, its the network that allows us to nationally and within the states, to help work all the programs in the investment in youth. So we do have a healthy economy. But specifically, because this very personal to me, i came from a family that strongly believed in education. Have four children who are out on their own now, thank goodness. But like ben spoke, i want for my childrenen what experienced. They are now in the jobs that they dreamed about. Teacher, as a a matter of fact. So when i had an opportunity to board at oakland military institute, which is six through 12th grade, its very similar to the demographics that you heard from mrs. Garcia about the l. A. School. Its part of Oakland Unified School district, even though it is a charter school. So we have about 700 children in that program. The statefunded Afterschool Program, and in addition to the clubs that we have. Had a waiting list of over 100 kids getting waiting to into the Afterschool Programs. So we have funded that through a of partnerships. But i think, like many of the conversations we had here, its talking to as our superintendent of the year said, its about listening to the children. What do they want . What are their dreams . And how do we remove the barriers that she said, to allow them to operationalize those dreams . If theyre able to do that, theyre going to remain in school. Many of the dollars that we in other sectors, like juvenile delinquency and other engaged inyll be school. This is really about a conversation about an end state. Look at our youth, its about allowing them to come whether itsystem, k12, k through four years, two of college, whatever it is that they dream act, to come out the other end and be contributing members of society and part of the workforce that this nation, for this nation to remain the premier nation that it is. [applause] so brittany, in addition to being an illustrator, one of the things i mentioned earlier is really makes our field so special is the people on the front line. And you go back and you mentor the very Afterschool Program that you attended as a student. Us one of thewith more rewarding experiences youve had and why you do that . I do it because im giving back to the program that gave me i wouldnt be here without that program. I wouldnt be doing illustration. I wouldnt be here with all of you. I wouldnt be advocating for programs. Ol i who knows where i would be . Because they did so much for me. And i was one of those kids. Want to see those kids succeed. The people who are there care about those kids and they want succeed. So i want that for those kids as well. Wonderful. [applause] i know we are starting to get short on time. Each of you to give a chance to give advice to all of us. Several hundred people from all over the country. Advocates forong afterschool. From where youre sitting, what piece of advice be to you,articularly for all of you know . Brittany, as a student, how do supportore of you to these kids in these programs . Dont we start with you. Im the first one. So one thing that strikes me, about ournk opportunity Task Force Report, is theres a lot of conversation youth. Upporting our and about recognizing the barriers that they have, just by up, what their Family Structure is, things they have no control over. Were gonna succeed as a country, if were going to end generational poverty, if were gonna give people a ladder up, we have to focus on kids, even birth, to, you know, to their career, and we have to just the that its not moral and the right thing to do. But its part of our survival. Compete andnna survive as a country, if were overcomeable to obstacles like Climate Change and Racial Injustice and so many we need the whole Team Together confronting, every has a spark in them and every mind is amazing. What it takesnow to unlock that mind. We dont have time during the theiculum day, with all stress of reading, which is incredibly important, but the unlockchool programs those minds. And we need every child to have to that amazing ladder, to that amazing spark of inspiration. Should not be excluding kids because of where they were born, what race they are, what gender, from any of these opportunities for a career. And this report talks act the for talks about the need for every child to have a life navigator. A mentor. R than its a life navigator. Always dorents cant that. Parents have a lot of stuff. Always listen to their parents. So no matter if you are [laughter] we all know that. Got two of them. But if you dont have that all those of inspiring adults, those role models, whether its sports or academics or robotics, they need those life navigators, who really deeply care. Thats what Afterschool Programs unlock. The opportunity. Thats a step up that they can give each and every child. And each and every child in charlotte and every city in this country deserves no less. [applause] my advice would be that we the to understand importance of having all hands deck, as we look to really support and protect the survival, quite frankly, of Afterschool Programs. What do i mean by that . Theres something that someone every community, from eight really bring to the message home of how are. Tant these programs whether youre talking about students like brittany and kids who really benefit the programs that we are all supporting, that were all youreg for, whether talking about grandparents at home, whose grandchildren have the benefit or who understand people areng involved in these programs, then windows in breaking the neighborhoods. Othere not engaged in activity that wed rather not see them do. To givewe have everybody a task. Write a letter. To the president. Write a letter to your members of congress. To themm, demonstrate how important these programs are. Enrollment in the programs particularly in the ours that neede them the most. Theres something that we all can do. And so this isnt a spec spectar sport. So often, people are willing to terrible it is for the president to try and the budget on the backs of children. Terrible. Its what are we gonna do about it . The last thing that i would say theres always common ground. Im not going to sit here, and i dont think any of you all believe, that the president doesnt understand the of supporting young people. Is help him to do to help congress to help those make these decisions find out how they can do both. Either or. Its both and. [applause] so lets come one a way to help them find that win so that we all win. [applause] thank you. Shoutout to all of our panelists, because one of say,hings i was going to as mayors, what are the most powerful voices . Who are the most powerful voices when they come to you . I think weve seen a lot of them today. But i dont know if you have voice we coulde bring to you. Reallye one, or is it this. Is it everybody . [laughter] its the collective. Its the strength of the collective. Think its a synergy of everybody finding the winwinwin together. And everyone being able to take credit for it. [laughter] and they should all want credit. Ha ha we should. In, of course, for me being washington, i have to say that one of the most powerful voices the kidsee are themselves. And brittany, thats why im so happy youre here. And as someone who was a student in afterschool, as someone who is mentoring in Afterschool Programs, from your heart, what do . We what should we do . I guess just let them play let them discover what their passion is, because i would have discovered illustration had i not been in that program. So let them play. Discover. Because afterschool does what schools cant do. Thats discover what their passionate about and learn besides like academics, which is important, but [laughter] but i feel like all the things that have helped me in my career, me as an illustrator, and just living life, i learned afterschool. I did not learn them in school. [applause] breckenridge . I will say, in addition to what everyone else has said so nation has our really been built on entrepreneurship and innovation. And we need to make sure that those opportunities are out there and theyre out there for every child. An investmentis in our future. So we cant back off. We have to stay in the forefront. Have to find the winwin, because theyre there. Successe many paths to and thats what we need to teach our children. Thats what we need to reinforce with our elected officials. [applause] you know, jumping on what has said, youone know, governor schwarzenegger certainly has a very powerful and has been an inspiration and has been a role many. For so but every Single Person in this room and watching at home has the same ability to influence in their own networks. Thats one of the things that i think the internet has brought us. Of us have our own social networks, our networks of friends and families that we can to, and by doing that, you can magnify your voice. 60 millionreach the or more people that the governor is able to, but in our own communities. Just yell at the t. V. , you know. Write to your member of congress. I spent 12 years working on the hill. And trust me, if you call your member of congress and youre community, they listen. If you write, they listen. If you never do, they cant read your mind. Thats the funny thing about day. You can yell at it all the only way they hear you on the other end is if you email, call, engage in the process. Listen to what everybody has said and i hope everybody today tweets and gets on facebook and instagram and snapchat and all the great platforms, because are heard and they matter. I just thank everybody for what they do. [applause] okay. To thank allwant the panelists. Thank you for all that youre doing. Andk you for coming here sharing it with us. And to all of you. Angry at the t. V. But do tweet, because these that were sending today, theyre really going to make a difference and we can use our voices in every venue, social media. T. V. Cameras here. But particularly person to person, just like our buildschool programs, to support. And ive said this to some of you before. Think that Afterschool Programs are facing one of the greatest challenges weve ever seen. Think that an attack on the afterschool budget is bigger federalattack on funding. An attack on whether or not theres evidence these programs work is an attack on everything in our states. And the good news for us is that of attention as a result. A recent poll came out. Of americans thats not republic, democrats. Thats 83 of voters across opposesmographic line, cuts to afterschool. [applause] and so now, while we have this opportunity and while we have this incredible summit, at a spectacular time, that we wish we werent facing these cuts. Time to shine a light on all these extraordinary things youre doing. To use all of these voices to out there, not just make the case for afterschool but to take us to the next level. Thank you. [applause] tonight, on the communicators. What theyre doing is trials. You what, peter, it wireless. Tefast thats something i never thought id see in my lifetime. Broadband fast, fiber to your house fast. Its really exciting. 5g network what the will look like. The recentlks about spectrum options, as she is mcgill. Wed by reporter whats the economic case for 5g . To buildost that much that . How do carriers make a return on that . Mean 500 billion to our economy and 3 million jobs. People is every 100 going to have a 5g job. But, again, its only if we get it right. Does mean weve got to move on spectrum, gotta low, mediumne of and high band and weve got to get this infrastructure right. We roll forward, we need to build 300,000 small cell years. N the next few and what a small cell looks like is maybe a pizza box. Its small. And its going to be attached to everything, because these are more dense much networks. Theyre going to be on traffic lights, thetreet sides of buildings. What we really need, and this is anlly important, we need infrastructure that rethinks how we site.
