[1st-mile-nm] BB Adoption + Employment

[Ripperger, Mike, PRC]

So far, here is the legislation that I found on the Bill locator:

HB 128, Gross Receipts Tax Exemption for selling components for broadband investment at a minimum of 10/1 mbps. 

HB 170, Appropriation to NMDoIT for the study of broadband deployment in NM. 

SB 171, Prohibition on use of a mobile communication device while driving a commercial motor vehicle. 

If any others come up related to telecommunications and broadband, I will be glad to share with the group.

 From our neighbors at the Utah Broadband Outreach Center.

http://broadband.utah.gov/2016/01/21/january-2016-map-of-the-month-broadband-adoption-employment/

A map and a graph that very generally merges recent broadband and labor statistics.
NM is at the farthest right on the graph.
A useful set of indicators, at this time, as the 2016 NM Legislative session has just begun.

For those involved, please let this list know of any NM broadband related legislation pending this month.
