Participants from throughout the Four Corners region gathered to identify problems and present a report to Gov. Michael Leavitt durvideo teleconfering a half-hou- r ence.

There is a lack of effective competition, and a lack of affordable options for telecommunications ar-e.- low-densi- services in our region. This will have negative impacts on future economic development in the region, and may have negative effects on healthmedical services, entertainment, business opportunities and quality of life.

Many existing businesses are starting to feel the effects of the lack of affordable network access. Similar problems exist in all four Four Corner states, where the area is at the end of the line, with no telephone lines crossing state lines due to regulatory Definitions of what types of telecommunications service should be included in the definition of universal service will determine what options are available in the future. Rural areas must take part in defining these regulatory issues. Governor Leavitt agreed to take up this issue with other Four Corner state governors at the Western Governors Conference in December.
