That's as good a place to watch as any. I have just ping'd Mary Beth Henry (the person leading the effort) to inquire. I am likely to let you know here as soon as I've heard anything. :-) You could also email them at the address below to let them know you are interested in the issue, and that competition and capacity to your homes is important to you and that you want to see a plan that serves more than a few percent of the population. Or, hell, you could just cut and paste my 7.5 steps to Success if you agree and/or are lazy. Or just say "I'll have what Personal Telco is having" if you are even lazier. Include "Broadband Strategic Plan" somewhere in the subject line.
