Get BroadbandYesterday the Blandin Broadband team met to start planning for the Annual Broadband Summit this fall. We were full of lots of good ideas. One thing we decided was that it would be great to have a very fun keynote speaker. Someone who might be inspirational or might help us answer definitively the ever popular question – what would people do with all that bandwidth anyways?

The tough thing was coming up with someone. So, I thought I’d ask the blog readers.

Who would you like to hear speak at the Fall Minnesota Broadband Summit?

To get the ball rolling I’ll share my short list:

I’m not making any promises here – but I’d love to know who other people would like to see.

Fiber to the Home Primer

FTTH PrimerHere’s a quick book review – well it’s not really a book but it is a review. The folks at Broadband Properties recently published an online primer on Fiber to the Home.

It’s 28 pages long, which initially scared me but there are lots of pictures. (I think I the powers that be might revoke my Library Science degree for admitting that 28 pages is too long for me – but sometimes it is.) This was a quick read.

The authors assumed no prior knowledge from the reader so they define everything. So while some of it is pretty introductory, even folks with a passing knowledge might learn something from it. I think this would be a good intro for community leader or elected official who needed a crash course on FTTH.
