maps that show speeds up and down in realistic numbers of megabytes the
ones in this report look like them came with support of the cable and
telco companies and slanted appropriately .<br>

The report seems very heavy on the usual gushing broadband healthcare
initiatives etall but very light on real meat like applications , real
need usability, competition , cost etc<br>
<br>
We should agitate that an edict should be passed that real Broadband is
nothing less that 25 megabytes per second up and down and anything less
than that is tinyskinnyband period.<br>

It always fascinates me when government departments publish static text
and maps in pdf on a website instead of doing Google mashups to show
whats really happening<br>
<br>
Then again that would show the real truth <br>
<br>
Doesn't it strike anyone as odd when that with all the digital traffic
routing patterns available that someone feels the need to convert this
to paper the scan the paper and publish it back on a website. Then
again it could be me<br>

<pre wrap="">As a proponant of 'a strategic integrated broadband plan for New Mexico',
I'm paying attention to other states' plans, which are to be learned from,
and which I post links to on this list.
Here's the latest from California.

The California Broadband Task Force has just completed its Final Report on
current and proposed broadband access (w/ maps), opportunities and
