[1st-mile-nm] CyberCenter response from Leo Baca

[Marianne Granoff]

Leo is not a member of all of the lists to which I posted the 
original message.  He is correct that Qwest is only asking for $10 
million of the SASA money to be used towards the proposed 
Cybercenter.  I apologize for the error.

Just a reminder if you want to use the conference call bridge to make 
public comments on Monday, you must contact

Cecilia Rios at 505 827-4501 or send her email at 
cecilia.rios at state.nm.us with your name, address, and phone number by 
TODAY at 4:00 pm.

The bridge will be available at 9:40 AM on Monday the 28th for a 
short while to allow people (who notify Cecilia Rios first) from all 
areas of the state to provide input to the Commissioners on this 
specific issue.

I.E.
1) yes - Qwest should get to use the money for the Cybercenter in 
Albuquerque since we do not need Qwest to spend that money on Qwest's network

or

2) no - Qwest should spend the money on their network, especially in 
rural areas, not on another Cybercenter in Albuquerque.
Please do not bring up any other issue during this particular meeting 
unless it is relevant to this discussion.

The telephone number for the bridge is 1-866-295-5950. The PIN is 
5754422 and then a # on your phone keypad.

Best Regards,

Marianne
