Thanks to Ann Treacy and the folks at the Blandin on Broadband project for sending us the following information. Blandin is collecting advice and stories for legislators to post on the Blandin on Broadband blog. We wanted to pass on this information. Here’s the original post/request:
The Minnesota Legislature will be back to session in a matter of weeks. According to Politics in Minnesota, broadband will be a hot topic this year.
Much of the conversation will revolve around the Minnesota Ultra High-Speed Broadband Task Force Recommendations. The Task Force heard from many people in preparing the report – from broadband experts to users in the field. We wanted to open up the public discussion again. So we are asking folks,
“What would you like your legislators to know about the importance of broadband access for you and your community?”
We are planning to post responses on the Blandin on Broadband blog http://blandinonbroadband.org on February 5.
If you want to share your two cents please send it to broadband@blandinfoundation.org, with a subject line: BB Leg comments. We ask that you keep it to 100 words or so – however if you want to say more, feel free to post your response online and send us a link. Same applies to videos or podcasts, simply send us a brief synopsis and link.
While our intention is to include all responses, we reserve the right to filter responses, especially if they include inappropriate language or veer from the topic of broadband.
We look forward to hearing from you!
