<DIV><SPAN class=359463504-26022006><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>I was
kind of disappointed by the conversation at the Feb 22, 2006 meeting. I expected
a debate about whether St. Paul should be in the Wifi business. What happened
instead was a hour long meeting about "what can we do with high speed internet."
While that's an interesting meeting on it's own, it came off more like a
sales-pitch to the citizens of St. Paul (which includes me) rather then a real
discussion about how city-wide Wifi will change our lives.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV style="MARGIN: 0px">Saint Paul is holding two "Public Forums on Broadband
Technology." Unfortunately, they haven't done a very good job of getting the
word out. Only 20 or so people attended the February 22 forum.</DIV>
<DIV style="MIN-HEIGHT: 17px; MARGIN: 0px; FONT: 14px Optima"><BR></DIV>
<DIV style="MARGIN: 0px">The next forum is this coming Monday, February 27,
from 7 to 9 pm at the Dayton's Bluff Recreation Center, 800 Conway Street,
Saint Paul. </DIV>
<DIV style="MIN-HEIGHT: 17px; MARGIN: 0px; FONT: 14px Optima"><BR></DIV>

<DIV style="MARGIN: 0px">It's fun. Really. You get to register your opinion,
using an interactive device, on current Internet services and future needs.
Then you can talk about your response.</DIV>
<DIV style="MIN-HEIGHT: 17px; MARGIN: 0px; FONT: 14px Optima"><BR></DIV>
<DIV style="MARGIN: 0px">This is a chance for Saint Paul residents to
participate in planning their city's information future - an opportunity that
was denied to Minneapolis residents.</DIV>
<DIV style="MIN-HEIGHT: 17px; MARGIN: 0px; FONT: 14px Optima"><BR></DIV>
<DIV style="MARGIN: 0px">So spread the word to all your Saint Paul friends and
acquaintances.</DIV>
