<p class="MsoNormal">After working a number of years on legislative issues related to broadband in rural NM, I saw the need for a more coordinated effort to help NM advance in this arena and so I recently incorporated the New Mexico Rural Broadband Association.
I will officially launch the association by the end of April and will send you additional information thereafter.<o:p></o:p></p>
