The NETTC is working to bring the region together to approach Google about their broadband initiative ( http://www.google.com/appserve/fiberrfi/ ). By highlighting regional assets and providing a unified voice, we believe we can make a more compelling case.

Your input on this proposal would be appreciated, and if your organization would like to sign on with this regional approach (in addition to your individual application), please let us know at info@nettc.org . The proposal (draft) can be found at https://docs.google.com/Doc?docid=0AU9mzXWcx5kSZGQza2twZDlfNzcyZjltYjhxYzg&hl=en . Content and editorial recommendations are requested. 

A great resource for sharing information about this and future high-speed Internet initiatives has been put together by GeekSouth at http://www.highspeedahead.com.
