	The hub and Network Operations Center are located at the Iowa National Guard Joint Forces Headquarters (JFHQ) in Johnston, Iowa.
	The Iowa Telecommunications and Technology Commission (ITTC) is the governing body of the ICN. The Commission provides for the centralized, coordinated use and control of the Network.
	Dave Lingren reports to the ITTC. The Executive Management Team also includes the Deputy Director and Chief Financial Officer.
	Divisions of ICN are the Offices of Deputy Director and Chief Financial Officer. The ICN divisions include Finance, Network Operations and Engineering, and Service Delivery.

	Services
	The ICN provides voice, video, data, WAN connections, and Internet services.
	There are currently over 700 ICN MPEG-2 video classrooms located in education facilities, government agencies, hospitals, armories, and public libraries throughout the state.
	ICN now offers a managed IP Video service, bringing the convenience of videoconferencing to your desktop or laptop.
	The ICN serves nearly 12,000 telephone, fax, and modem numbers in the Des Moines metropolitan area.
	In FY 2007, the Network entered the first phase of a seven-year plan to upgrade telephone service for the Capitol Complex.
	ICN voice conferencing services offer customers instant access to conference calls.
	ICN bandwidth and data services continue to climb at a steady pace, more than doubling in the past two years. This reflects the demand and need for greater access to high-speed Internet by ICN's authorized users.
