Broadband Stimulus: Critical, But Not Ready to Rock

I've watched the US Broadband Stimulus legislation with great interest. I consider the intent of the action to be positive, but am beginning to be dismayed by delays and poor communication. The action will go a long way toward providing better access for unserved and under served areas in the US. With better access to communications for rural areas, these areas can become more productive and also allow virtual companies to work from places other than the normal metropolitan centers. Here's a great site for more updates. http://calix.com/bbs/

And here's a general purpose list of milestones for the Broadband Stimulus.












Of interest, many of the broadband stimulus projects are slated to be $5M, $20M, and more. Here is a survey that was done of attendees to the webinar, followed by their chosen access technology.
