Newkirk, Wendy (PSC)
[mailto:wnewk...@psc.dc.gov] On Behalf Of Kane, Betty Ann (PSC) Hello: Last
Thursday, at the FCC’s field hearing for the National Broadband Plan,
on behalf
of Indiana Commissioner Larry Landis, Chairman of the
State Members of the Federal-State Joint Conference on Advanced
Services (the
Joint Conference is an
advisory group to the FCC, established pursuant to Section 706 of the
Telecommunications Act of 1996) I announced that we had activated a new
website: www.BroadbandBestPractices.org.
The State
Members
of the Joint Conference issued a press release on Friday that announced
the
website’s launch, see: http://www.naruc.org/News/default.cfm?pr=163 The
primary
feature of the Joint Conference State Member’s website is the creation
of a
National Inventory of Broadband Projects and Programs, including
descriptions
of Lessons Learned. The objective of the website design is for public
and
private broadband project managers and sponsors to voluntarily add
details
about their infrastructure projects and/or adoption programs to the
Inventory. All descriptions of broadband projects/programs can be
edited
and updated by the original authors or other participants as the
projects/programs are completed or expanded. The Joint Conference
State
Members believe that www.BroadbandBestPractices.org can provide a valuable
data resource
to federal, state and local broadband policymakers and to public and
private
organizations interested in developing new or expanding existing
broadband
infrastructure projects and adoption programs. The
Joint
Conference State Members request that your organization assist in the
promotion
and use of www.BroadbandBestPractices.org
by providing a
notification to your membership on your website or through
correspondence to
your membership and by providing a cross-link button on your website.
The
attachment provides a text design for the cross-link to the Joint
Conference
State Members’ website: www.BroadbandBestPractices.org. If
you or
your staff has any questions regarding our request, please contact my
Policy
Advisor, Cary Hinton, on (202) 626-9186 or by email at chin...@psc.dc.gov. Thank
you. Betty
