Although this bill has some major inertia - it is in no way a slam dunk. The political onslaught that is being levied by the entrenched teleco's is fierce. We are late in the legislative session and there are many other major pieces of legislation already in the pipeline ahead of this bill.
If you are in WV and want broadband but cannot get it - I would encourage you to call your representative's office in the House and Senate of WV and voice your support for this bill - nicknamed, "ETOPIA."

I want to second CANCERMAN's suggestion. Send a e-mail,call and post a sign in your front yard supporting ETOPIA. You neighbors probably don't even know what it is.
If someone posts the e-mail address of some of the reps of the state, I will send them one even though I am in Iowa. -- Thermaltake 2000a/Asus P4C-e/p4 3.4/ocz3500 2x512/WD.2x200g/raptor2x74 raid 0/ATI 9600/APC sua 1500/Logitech z-680/ Samsung 213t LCD/MX 1000
