[1st-mile-nm] Becoming Broadband Ready: A Toolkit for Communities

[Richard Lowenberg]

Next Century Cities has just published and shared "Becoming Broadband 
Ready: A Toolkit for Communities", a guide for communities that are 
seeking solutions to connect residents to broadband.

The toolkit acts as a comprehensive first-stop resource for community 
leaders by outlining the most important considerations and action steps 
for communities beginning broadband expansion projects. These “building 
blocks” for a successful project are broken down into clear, concise 
sections that are presented in chronological order, with the most 
fundamental ingredients first and more nuanced considerations later.

This is a fine resource guide, with much of the content and
issues to be considered and acted upon, having been published
and advocated for by activists, planners and civic .orgs
previously.   Nationwide, however, we lack a concerted will,
economic imperative and cooperative way forward, as government
and corporate big players undermine local communities and
peoples' healthy lives in today's world.
