Open proposal for national town-hall meetings on America-wide broadband

By at 8:06 am Monday, May 25

Andy Oram, an editor at O'Reilly, sez
The Obama Administration decided to expand always-on, high-speed network access in the US, but there's a limit to what can be decreed in Washington. I tried to combine practices that seem to have been successful in a proposal to the recent forum set up the by White House.

Maybe half (maybe) of the US population has always-on, high-speed network access. But we need more access for more people so we can offer more educational and economic opportunities. Check out the proposal, vote for it if you like it, and get other people talking.

Local forums to implement high-speed networks (broadband): proposal open for votes (Thanks, Andy!)
