Dave and folk:

Delighted to report that Stagg Newman has signed on as technical lead  
for the national broadband plan. He's one of the best. I discovered  
that from the schedule of workshops the FCC will be holding this week.  
They will all be webcast and more interesting than most similar  
events. They are only giving speakers 5 minutes then planning a very  
active back and forth with questions. I know about half those  
scheduled; a few will give predictable corporate messages, but most  
are very knowledgeable.

Here's the schedule.
WHEN: Wednesday and Thursday, Aug. 12 &13.  See agendas below for  
specific times
WHERE: FCC Commission Room, 445 12th St. SW, Washington D.C. 20554
ONLINE: Press and public attending online should register in advance  
at http://www.broadband.gov/. Click on “Workshops” tab.
