Howdy,

After a lot of hard work and much craziness, I've got my latest two
broadband efforts done.

Here's my report on new ways to fund broadband -
http://tinyurl.com/prgktmu  . There is more money for broadband then
communities realize, but they think unconventionally to find it. My
Gigabit Nation show this week was with Montrose, CO's Virgil Turner as
we discussed some of the points made in my report -

I'm sending you the link to my book, which I finished a couple of weeks
ago - https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/579974  . This started out
as a mere upgrade but eventually became a mostly new book.

I hope these efforts end up helping community broadband in some
significant way. There's a lot of attention in the communities for this
technology and in some states we might be on the tipping point of some
serious advancements getting these networks deployed.

Have a great weekend.

Craig
