[1st-mile-nm] More stimulus funding for NM and other states.

[Richard Lowenberg]

For those who are interested and following NM broadband stimulus  
funded projects,
in addition to the awards recently announced, there have been funds  
awarded to
national/regional entities which will provide services in multiple  
states, including NM.
The RUS recently announced awards funding big satellite providers to  
upgrade services.
SpaceNet's funding did not include NM coverage, however,
Wildblue and Hughes both got substantial support for enhanced  
broadband service,
with NM included in their awarded coverage and service areas
A California based training and capacity-building .org, Zero Divide,  
got NTIA SBA funding
for teen training and broadband uses, in 6 states, including NM.
Congratulations to Zero Divide's NM partner .org: the Boys and Girls  
Club of Santa Fe.
