Telecommunications Planning and Policy
Advisor to the Local Initiatives Support Corporation for its
Computer Technology Initiative
The Siembab Corporation, 1999
LISC was searching for a way to provide computers and Internet access to community
based non-profit corporations in Los Angeles County. I researched the CBOs
needs and potential price point as input to a business plan for a consumer
cooperative.
Strategic Telecommunications Planning Consultant, City of San Diego
Principal, Siembab Planning Associates, 1994
This project involved working with representatives of the City and the San
Diego Data Processing Corporation to develop strategies and policies for using
telecommunications to enhance the local economy, deliver local government services,
broaden access to public information and increase citizen participation in
local government activities. This work supported San Diego's "City of the Future" initiative.
Department of Telecommunications, City of Los Angeles
Chief, Policy and Planning Unit, Long Range Planning Bureau, 1989-92
I managed the City's Telecommuting Pilot Project that involved 385 employees
working from home approximately one day per week. Other responsibilities included
managing the Language Line Pilot Project (an ATT language translation service),
developing the City's positions on pending state and federal telecommunications
legislation, participating in the working group that produced the air quality
element of the City's general plan, and conducting the pre-planning for the
City's telecommunications master plan.
City of Berkeley, Cable Television Needs Assessment
Subcontractor to Communication Research Corporation, 1989-90
This community needs assessment was referred to by the City's consulting attorney
as the most thorough and well documented he had seen in 15 years of cable franchising.
The planning process identified the cable franchise resources needed to satisfy
the outreach, service delivery, system coordination and political consensus
needs of local government and community-based service delivery systems.
