It contained seven active programs, details for each of which follow. Prior to FY 2002, the Legislature accounted for UEN-including the digital television upgrade-in a single program called UtahLINK.

Program: Internet Protocol Video Project

Function

UEN has completed a multi-year project to upgrade its older analog video conferencing system to digital video using internet protocol (IP). This approach to videoconferencing allows for greater flexibility in scheduling as video conferences do not have to come through a central hub. As it is Internet based, it no longer requires separate circuits for video and data. The IP Video program tracks UEN's finances for this endeavor.

Funding Detail

The following table displays budget data for the IP Video program.
