Urban Broadband Users in Minnesota

Just got this note from Dennis Fazio.  I think it's perfect so I'm just passing it along to you.  Time to speak out peepul!

Mike, You might want to encourage everyone to enter their comments to the FCC. A large number of citizen comments can help to counter the "everything's just fine" mantra from the big telecom carriers. Here's the Ars Technica article  with a nice background summary:

The Notice of Inquiry is here for those who want to read through it:

But really all you need to do is submit your comments about what you think the future of broadband networks should be by going here:

It's easy and quick You can upload a file, or more simply, type or paste a comment into the field provided.

You will need the proceeding number for field #1 and that would be:  09-51

A large number of knowledgeable citizen comments on the necessity of changing public policy to recognize broadband packet data networks as an essential public utility requiring active government investment, intervention and regulation might have some good effect.
