[1st-mile-nm] President's Speech

[Cummins, Kevin (Tom Udall)]

Richard, 1st Milers,

On a related note...

The White House mentions RUS Community Connect Grant opportunities in this fact sheet.  If there are folks in NM or those possibly planning broadband grant applications that would benefit NM constituents, please let us know.

It may be possible to organize a webinar or conference call with RUS to help interested constituents learn more about these opportunities and how to make their applications as competitive as possible.  In some cases, the NM Congressional delegation can also provide letters of support for such federal grant opportunities.

Thanks,

Kevin

Kevin Cummins
Office of Sen. Tom Udall

Hot off the press.

The White House has just released an outline of the speech President Obama
will give in Cedar Falls, Iowa tomorrow afternoon.
The President will highlight the success that Cedar Falls and other cities have had
in bringing high-speed, low-cost Internet to their communities.
The President is expected to announce the steps he will discuss in the State of the Union
to promote community broadband including:
a call to end laws that harm broadband service competition and
a new initiative to support community broadband projects.
