All:
I'm attending the Broadband Properties
Summit<http://www.broadbandproperties.com/2007summit/summit07.php>(
http://www.broadbandproperties.com/2007summit/summit07.php) at DFW this
week, and today I picked up a couple links to site resources we may find
valuable. See especially the Connect Kentucky site. Kentucky has much in
common with New Mexico in terms of educational and economic status, yet it
has made remarkable progress in the past 24-36 months.

AppRising delivers insight into new broadband applications, exploring
their impact on networks and their implications for public policy.

Connect Kentucky: ConnectKentucky manages and participates in
numerous projects with one universal goal: to support the growth and
economic development of technology in Kentucky. ConnectKentucky projects
serve the needs of students, community leaders, local and state businesses,
government officials, and most importantly, the Kentucky citizenry. Learn
more about the ConnectKentucky projects in the left navigational bar.
Note how each of the state's 120 counties has developed a technology
plan. That they are all based on the same template means that there is
vertical integration withing the country, but also horizontal planning and
cooperation across the state in terms of similar categories, i.e.
education, health care, etc.

A lot of interesting, and relevant, data in this annual report.
