As we start to change the future landscape of broadband infrastructure and facilities in the United States probably the most important initiative that we can undertake is to educate the American public and invite public participation. The NTIA BTOP and RUS broadband stimulus programs have represented an excellent starting point through their public joint request for information (over 1500 public comments) and public meetings held in March, 2009. This only scratches the surface when we talk about developing and deploying a "national broadband plan". These agencies (and the FCC) are charged with delivering this plan to Congress by February, 2010.
