Its interesting that an organization of ISPs has a press release before the website is up. :) DJ -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]]On Behalf Of Irwin Lazar Sent: Tuesday, June 18, 2002 10:22 PM To: '[email protected]' Subject: D.C. area based ISP's unite FYI: o ISPs Form DC-based Organization To Battle Large Telecom Firms Washington, DC -- About 200 Internet service providers (ISPs) from around the country have formed a new organization based in Washington DC that will battle against what they call "monopolistic local telephone companies" regarding the future deployment of broadband. The new DC-based organization, called The BroadNet Alliance, plans to lobby the federal government on behalf of smaller ISPs. "How America chooses to deploy broadband is one of the most central policy issues of our time. Though there are many voices on the traditional long distance, cable and local telephone sides, the country's independent broadband providers have lacked a clear voice in the debate," said Maura Colleton, Executive Director of BroadNet. http://www.newsalert.com/bin/story?StoryId=Cpq6WqbWbrenuvtaYoq&FQ
