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