[1st-mile-nm] Broadband New Mexico, a List

Wed Aug 22 08:33:25 PDT 2012

Folks, 

As a Follow up.

A " list of of Broadband service providers, hosting companies, colo
companies, and engineering companies that are headquartered in New Mexico
and owned by people that live in New Mexico" is a grand idea and could be an
excellent reference of the talent available here in NM.

Unfortunately, I think the political connections and existing agendas by
those who ultimately make the decisions to use NM talent will preside. An
ironic and contradictory environment that continues to sustain NM's national
rankings.

Got an idea,  Lets not over complicate this.

This is someone that can do nice web design, with a SQL back end.  I think
we have that talent in NM.

This is a tool that allows an entity to sign up, and fill-out a form that
documents what they provide and can do.
It is search engine friendly.

Its hosted on local NM based servers, that have people that live in NM that
can go touch the server(s).

Maybe we get a couple of providers to provide a mirrored (redundant)
environment. ?

It must be protected from agenda and political capture by any single entity.
It must be transparent and have simple guide lines for participation.

My firm, CityLink Telecom is willing to post a $1000.00 bounty to fund the
web/sql development.
Tell me where to send the check.  Must be a valid NM entity ! :)

Yes, we should huddle and speak on Friday.   I'll be there ;)

Hey everyone... 

We (NM Technology Council) are definitely glad to help, but I agree with
Gary here - finding the platform, making it relatively easy to submit useful
info, including some feedback loops to encourage stakeholders to participate
and keep it all current... are all necessary pieces.

I know I'm planning to attend the Broadband Summit Friday and think this is
a good piece to suggest and implement.  Anyone else interested in this topic
who plans to attend/participate?

Best wishes, 

Eric

A "Group" could be set up on NMTC, but that may not fill the real need of
having a "directory" that is well publicized among the intended audience as
well as vendors/providers participants.  And the information in the
directory must be meaningful, accurate and current.

This is not a trivial undertaking - it will require leadership and
commitment.

Some of the folks you mention are on this list already...we are a colo
provider-bigbyte.cc Corp.

But I believe some of the folks you seek are coordinating with the NMTC
so...
Perhaps a coordination with New Mexico Tech Council would be appropriate?

I like the idea. How about network engineering firms on that list? 

What are your thoughts in regard to the use of this list, distribution, how
and to whom?

I propose that we create a list of Broadband service providers, hosting
companies, colo companies, that are headquartered in New Mexico and owned by
people that live in New Mexico.

I'm willing to help in anyway possible to create a reliable and unbiased
list of such firms.

Thoughts ??
