<p class="MsoNormal">The idea of far more neutral infrastructure is great. Making it so network builders don't have to focus on middle mile but can focus on the actual deployments is smart policy. That assumes the city gets its part correct. The focus on affordable
housing is good and important - but the revolutionary part is building lots of neutral, low-cost fiber and places to cross-connect.<o:p></o:p></p>

Not sure why the NYC Gig Broadband Planning process is<br>
relevant to this NM area list, though some of us may be<br>
interested.<br>
<br>
Briefly, my sense is that this planning and deployment<br>
process has many additional steps and mis-steps to go through.<br>
With over half of the announced funds coming from defunding of<br>
law enforcement, along with the opportunity to build out new<br>
smart city 5G wireless, I expect that public housing facilities<br>
will be outfitted with the latest in ubiquitous networked video<br>
surveillance and sensing systems along with digital divide<br>
bridging apps.<br>
<br>
Stay tuned. Stay healthy. Stay informed.<br>
