<DIV><SPAN class=978282519-15072009><FONT face=Arial>Thanks for your input last

<DIV><SPAN class=978282519-15072009><FONT face=Arial>As I assume you know, the
federal government has announced funding opportunities for broadband
infrastructure to underserved areas. In addition, they are seeking
proposals to map broadband infrastructure. Please let me know if you know
of anyone in your state applying for the mapping money or if you see a regional
role in this area.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
