Dave,
Seeing as how you know many people in the area, I am hoping you would be able to share this announcement with some people that may be interested. The organization Next Century Cities, which includes nearly 200 communities that are engaging in policies to improve Internet access, is hosting an event in Pittsburgh on July 23-24. Next Century Cities supports a long continuum of policy and has members that are working with incumbents as well as members that have built their own networks like Chattanooga and many in between.

Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you!
