Over at Broadband.gov, the Federal Communications Commission is accepting ideas from the public to help them create a national broadband strategy. More information about the National Broadband Plan can be found on the Benton Foundation's website.

Implementing a national broadband plan is going to require formidable resources - and physical locations - where broadband services can be offered to those in need. My hope is that community media and technology centers, as trusted community institutions, will play an essential role in this process.
