Michael Santorelli, the Legislative Policy Analyst for the New York City Council informs me that on Thursday, December 29, 2005, at 2pm Mayor Michael Bloomberg will sign Int. No. 625-A into law establishing a Public Broadband Commission! The signing will take place in the Blue Room at City Hall is open to the public, so everyone should attend.
I’d encourage everyone that reads this blog should attend to show Mayor Bloomberg how much we, the people, care about this issue. As “I’ve written about in the past”:/2005/12/21/nyc-council-creates-public-broadband-commission/, the Public Broadband Commission is a great first step for New York City in establishing affordable, universally available broadband.
