FCC Broadband Plan

[Tim]

I figure most of you aren't paying attention to the news because of
SXSW. This isn't specifically related to the Google program, but
important with broadband in general. Here's the FCC's press release
on the plan they are sending to Congress tomorrow:

Tim,
I think it is very relevant in many ways.

That is a goal by 2020--1GB in institutions-- libraries, etc.

One of their goals is....More importantly-- "Promote competition across the
broadband ecosystem by ensuring greater transparency, removing barriers to
entry, and conducting market-based analysis with quality data on price,
speed, and availability."

Key word--competition.

So, if the federal government is trying to allow accessibility and to
remove barriers to entry, it would be hard for it not to support an
initiative that would engender competition in the marketplace.

I have heard that the major Internet providers are going to defend their
turf. I believe that the Google initiative puts the search-software
company on the same side of the FCC.

While I believe the local Internet companies will control the debate as to
what their locals will say on this issue, I think the successful city could
be one that can get some buy-in from the local Internet providers.

Interesting how this will play out.

All, we've submitted the iPhone app for NOLA Fiber to Apple for
approval - one feature includes the ability for the team to push
notifications to anyone who's downloaded it.

We've also created a mobile website - it works great on the iPhone but
not sure how it looks on a palm pre or android - we know it probably
has issues on blackberry.

Can someone with droid and pre please test it and tell us how it works:

Thanks,
Neel

Neel,

I just compared the mobile site vs. how it looks on my PC and they compare very well. The Twitter widget shows up on the right side, all the text input fields seem to work, etc.

The only differences I noticed:

The text doesn't always resize to fit the appropriate zoom level, it worked about 50% of the time (that may be an issue with my phone - can someone else try this?).

Also the image of the aerial map of New Orleans isn't loading. 

Good work.

Daniel.

To clarify, I jut heard that the site only goes to the mobile version from iPhone, the droid, etc is displaying the real site.  Standby for an update.

Thanks,

Neel
