[1st-mile-nm] California Broadband Initiative

[peter]

Until we get real time digital 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 .

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

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.

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

Then again that would show the real truth

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

I cannot believe this came from the same state as Gig or bust and sadly 
in NM we are more attuned to K or pop
