Is anyone talking to Val about the Broadband meeting in Washington this week????? Does he already know??????

This could be a huge PR chance and would be a shame not to get noticed through this week's opportunity that is dumped right in our laps. It seems like the shoe would fit for MediaG3 if someone in the corporation would tell them about us.

U.S. regulators will announce a major Internet policy this week to revolutionize how Americans communicate and play, proposing a dramatic increase in broadband speeds that could let people download a high-definition film in minutes instead of hours.

Dramatically increasing Internet speeds to 25 times the current average is one of the myriad goals to be unveiled in the National Broadband Plan by the the Federal Communications Commission on Tuesday.

Later on in the article: But some carriers like AT&T Inc and Qwest Communications International Inc were irked last month when the agency's chief, Julius Genachowski, announced that the FCC would propose in the plan a goal of 100 Mbps speeds to be in place at 100 million American homes in 10 years. The current average is less than 4 Mbps.

I'll bet they are irked since they're in the "LTE bag" and Sprint could blow them away with WiMax capabilities that are already available.
