There's always the good `ol FCC - the next iteration of the broadband report
is dur at the end of the month but you can look at the current version to
get a ballpark figure.

All:
Is anyone aware of low-cost or (ideally) free voicemail services available
to non-profit orgs? One of my pro-bono clients is in a real bind here and
needs to transition as quickly as possible. A toll-free gateway would also
be very helpful. Thoughts?
Many thanks,

I imagine that this won't work if the Verizon cell towers in the area have
been detroyed. You'd also have limited bandwidth to share, though that's
less of a concern. It's a stellar idea in general, though.

Susan,
I agree that there's an issue with private sector monopolization, but I also
know that there are some firms that want the right to bring newer
technologies to market without having to compete with public providers. I
hope (perhaps naively) that they can do so without selling out to incumb

You won¹t hear a disagreeing peep out of me re: telco broken promises it¹s

But these public broadband projects are scarcely different in my mind.

Here's where the cracks start to show in this bill - free access in
libraries should be subject to this ban, and if there is any amiguity then
the bill must be changed. Are there other instances?

Much as I hate to agree with Sessions generally speaking, there are two
things I like about this bill:

I'd prefer titles based in the US, but international is good as well. They
