I took a few vacation days this week to go along with Louise to New Orleans while she was attending the Innovations 2007 conference. While looking through some of the materials that she picked up in the exhibits or were included with her registration materials was one that I think you will also find interesting.
There is a Coalition for Free Broadband Now and it is "promoting a public dialogue ... to ensure that all Americans have access to broadband service that is free, fast and family-friendly." You can read more about the idea and how it could take shape on the Coalition's website. In addition there is a webinar scheduled for April 5th that you can sign up for that is sponsored by M2Z networks.
I think you'll agree that this is an important issue. I was watching a movie called Did You Know? and one of its points is that the US ranks 20th in the world, behind Luxembourg, in broadband Internet penetration. This is a very good video, BTW, and if you've not seen it I highly recommend watching it.
