<p class="MsoNormal">As you know, the NM Public Regulation Commission just set up a Broadband Task Force to look into how to improve BB service around the state, especially increasing speeds where there is BB, and bringing it to parts of the state where there
is none.<u></u><u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">Since broadband access has come up repeatedly down here, I nominated myself to serve on this TF based on my long experience working on this issue as it has evolved.<u></u><u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">Yesterday I got an email from Charlie Ferrell, Co-Chair of the TF, letting me know the first meeting will be on Thursday at 9:00a in Santa Fe. <u></u><u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">I called him to confirm, and yes, I am indeed now a TF member!<u></u><u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">-- There are 18 TF members in addition to the people on the Steering Committee <u></u><u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"> -- The only other TF member from Dona Ana County is someone from Comcast (figures)<u></u><u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"> -- I am being assigned to the Policy working group (yay!)<u></u><u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"> -- The work is supposed to be completed by May 27, so it's a fast turnaround.<u></u><u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">The first meeting is Thursday, and I will be able to call it in along with many others. Meanwhile, Charlie said they were preparing materials that will be sent out tomorrow, including a roster of members.<u></u><u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">I thought you'd be interested. I'll report back as this takes shape. (and see how long before the process succumbs to NM power politics...)<u></u><u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
