Ms. Wyman gave an overview of the OPAs role in consumer advocacy,
and will briefly explore the status and ambiguity of Net Neutrality policy and how Maine and other states are attempting to mitigate negative consequences
for consumers.
In addition, MTUG discussed the final events in MTUGs 2017-18 educational season, including the 2018 I.T. Summit & Tradeshow coming this May.
MTUGs "Peers & Beers" events are a chance for IT professionals and enthusiasts to network in an informal setting while learning about a unique
