The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA)--Calling all Municipalities!!

The National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) will begin holding meetings beginning on 2 March 2009 to discuss the implementation of the Broadband Grant Programs under the Broadband Data Services Improvement Act and the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA). A couple of interesting notes about today's meeting was that although creating and establishing "The pipe" is the major focus (that's to say getting people on line and using data) applications are not excluded. WiFi Meters, IPCAM (over WiFI), security applications, just to name a few, have a stake in the ARRA. It's important that as we build out WiFi networks, that they are build with the expectation of user growth and potential applications that can be used over the WiFi network.
