[governance] RE: [AFCN Members] Tech Memo to Team Obama

[Michael Gurstein]

Interesting and important discussion going on in the US re: role of
broadband as part of the overall US (and global?) economic stimulus package
and in the referenced article the role of "Net Neutrality" in that
discussion.

Greetings,

This one page article suggests short term innovation to "get broadband
right."  We could also do more in the short term modeling online
instructional innovations to raise awareness and provide Broadband
Entrepreneurship Education in the short term.

The top-down providers of these networks must partner meaningfully with the
bottom up intended users. And time is short.
I am aware of major inconsistencies as reflected in recent postings on this
listserv. Noting tens of billions are soon to be allocated, what's the
solution for both the supply and demand sides?

It is a matter of who and when that American innovation must reflect honesty
at all levels to create a trusted global information society and economy. We
can start here at home.
