I have created a new group in Linked-In, the ” Public-Broadband Debating Group “, to let it serve as a debating medium about the role of Government in broadband development. The purpose of the group is to discuss the public role in broadband development worldwide and elaborate on the benefits, risks and reservations of the public endeavours. Topics of interest include municipal broadband initiatives, national broadband strategies, business models, regulatory measures, and more as things will develop. What I would like the group to become is an information resource on the changing role of the Government in broadband development and how this may impact the broadband economy (e.g. service providers, consumers, regional/national growth).
I plan to channel through the group’s news feed, readings from the Internet press and blogoshere to spur discussions and disseminate the information found abound in the Internet. You don’t necessarily have to be a municipal/public broadband enthusiast to join the group, on the contrary, opposing views on the subject will serve the “debating” angle of the group. However, what is desirable is that you’d be interested in following the international debates and sharing your ideas and opinions with the rest.
