Dave,

 

As I think you know, I am coordinating work here at the FCC on the
National Broadband Plan.  We are just getting going but one of the
things we have to nail down is a smarter definition of broadband.  We
just put out a public notice asking comments on this issue.  I just
wanted to make sure you (and the tech community I know you are the
central node in) sees it as we particularly want their help in
thinking this through.  

 

The notice can be found at:

I am cc?ing Carlos Kirjner, who has joined us on this effort and a
person who I hope you have a chance to talk with on this question. 
You both bring great expertise to the effort.

 

Many thanks and hope all is well.
