July Meeting of 'Spending the Broadband Stimulus'
How the FCC's National Broadband Plan Will Affect Spending
BroadbandCensus.com presents the July meeting of the Broadband Breakfast Club on Tuesday, July 14, 2009, at 8 a.m.
Speakers at the July 14 event will address the formation of the National Broadband Plan by the Federal Communications Commission, currently underway, and how it will impact federal broadband stimulus spending. This national broadband strategy was called for by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, passed February 17, 2009, and requires the FCC to devise its plan by February 17, 2010.
Confirmed speakers include:
The event will be moderated by Drew Clark, Editor and Executive Director of BroadbandCensus.com.
Clark is a veteran telecom and technology journalist, and he founded BroadbandCensus.com in January 2008 as a means of providing the public with a free and objective resource of the wired and wireless local broadband carriers, grouped by ZIP code, by speed, by competition and by consumer satisfaction.
Telecommunications policy advocates, attorneys, policy-makers and journalists seeking to obtain insights from top officials in Washington can attend the Broadband Breakfast Club, which includes a full American and Continental breakfast, for as little as $45.00, plus a modest registration fee.

Webcasts of the Broadband Breakfast Club Produced in Partnership with:
BroadbandCensus.com is a free information and news service designed to help consumers, policy-makers and broadband providers know more about the availability, competition, speeds and prices of high-speed internet access at the local level.
The information and news that is available for free at BroadbandCensus.com is more important now than ever before. The FCC and Congress have just made important changes to how it will collect data from carriers.
Public and private sector groups of all stripes are demanding, ever more loudly, that government take steps toward a national broadband policy. That cannot be done without solid information about broadband.
Finally, many large carriers are beginning to implement plans to meter out bandwidth in tiers and with usage caps. This marketplace development makes the mission of an independent monitoring web service like BroadbandCensus.com even more critical. For more information, visit BroadbandCensus.com.
Together with Carnegie Mellon University, the University of Texas at Austin, and Virginia Tech, BroadbandCensus.com sponsored the "Broadband Census for America Conference" that was held on Friday, September 26, 2008. Information about the conference is available at http://broadbandcensus.com/conference.
