Title
Westchester Alliance For Telecommunications & Public Access
Description
Reviving and updating the Westchester Pathmaster tradition started in the 1700s, the Westchester Alliance For Telecommunications and Public Access (WATPA), a not-for-profit community organization, strives to coordinate development of a county-wide community network using on-line, interactive electronic communications. WATPA is dedicated to the establishment of a readily accessible, communication based information infrastructure in Westchester County, New York to benefit citizens, educational organizations, business and government for community and educational purposes. This is especially important for a large community with a population of nearly a million.
WATPA's experience indicates that community networks are usually indigenous to central city metropolitan areas. Very few traditional media focus on Westchester County issues and needs; WATPA does.
WATPA welcomes as members anyone who lives, works or is otherwise concerned with the future of Westchester County. In a phrase from one of our sister organizations, all you need is the desire "to help make our corner of the digital world a civilized and flourishing place to live, work and visit."
