Mike Leavitt announced a public-privat- e government, education, U S WEST, South Central Utah Telephone Association and Unitah Basin Telephone Association for the first phase of a plan to expand and enhance the Utah Education Network (UEN). interactive video network for distance learning called UEN is composed of a two-waEDNET and a data network called UtahLink. UtahLink provides access to state databases and to Internet a worldwide information network which includes databases, electronic mail and libraries. Over the next four years, EDNET will be enhanced to include capability and be extended to every high school, college, university and applied technology center in the state about 200 locations. Eventually, it will reach every elementary and junior high school as well. At the same time, virtually every state and local government and education site, about 1,500 in all, will be added to the improved high speedhigh capacity data network UtahLink. As a result, school districts will be able to share teachers and courses and offer subjects never available before to distant schools. With school districts sharing resources, there will be substantial savings in construction expenses. U S WEST is thrilled to play a part in this plan because it means the beginning of thq on- - and off- - ramps to the Electronic Highway in Utah. Because schools are virtually in every boundaries and community in the state, the UEN erases all urbanrural and provides a perfect foundation on which to build the highway of the future. Furthermore, in keeping with Gov. Leavitt's vision, this new highway will soon offer government information services, business and economic development opportunities, telecommuting, health care access, quality of life preservation and enhancements and, eventually, home access to all of the above. socio-econom- ic Sanpete Valley 415 South in semi-annu- al The committee was comprised multi-chann- el Five unit apartment building 1 1 to honor deceased veterans on Veterans Day, in the joint effort of the American.
