I’m trying to keep a list of bills in the world of broadband. These are bills I hope to keep an eye on, but less likely to attend meetings on them. Please give me a shout if you have an update on any of these bills or seem one I missed. There’s sure to be a few more – but I know some of these are already in meetings so I wanted to get this list out there.
