[1st-mile-nm] Broadband Properties' Articles

[Richard Lowenberg]

The latest issue of Broadband Properties Magazine includes some excellent
articles.   They get better with each issue, as do the publication?s other
information resources.

Of special interest to this list is the cover story by Christopher Mitchell,
Dir. of the Telecommunications, New Rules Project, at the Institute for Local
Self-Reliance.

?Municipal Broadband: Demystifying Wireless and Fiber Optic Options?, makes
a good case for municipalities to consider public broadband ? fiber, and
wireless, and not opposing private solutions, either.   A .pdf of the entire
article is available at: www.broadbandproperties.com

For those of us considering a possible New Mexico state broadband initiative, it
is worth reading and considering parts of the Special Report: ?California?s
Comprehensive Broadband Plan Proposes Public-Private Partnerships?, which
includes summarized advice other states and localities might use for their
broadband policies, and that the FCC and Congress should take note of, as well.
