Broadband in the U.S.A. (and territories)

From the broadband blog of the Federal Government:   

One of the challenges facing the Broadband Task Force is a question inspired by the 1989 classic film, "Field of Dreams": if we build it, will they come?  As John mentioned in his post, the 37% of Americans who have not adopted home broadband have a unique set of concerns, needs and barriers to overcome. Our two afternoon workshops on Wednesday, "Low adoption and utilization" and "Programmatic efforts to increase adoption and usage," addressed this topic.

MinnPost has a nifty breakdown of the issues at stake and a link to the RSS feed:

Though they're unlikely to win any branding awards for the snappy name "Blogband" (sounds like bunch of high-schoolers who launched their garage band to sing about blogging), the FCC has launched that blog in order to foster public dialogue about the National Broadband Plan (PDF), an initiative with just over 180 days before the FCC's deadline to send that plan to Congress.

So if you care about broadband (and issues like net neutrality), then  snagging this RSS feed and putting it in your news reader or just following the blog would be a good idea.
