Initially the National Telecommunications Information Agency/United States Department of Agriculture/Rural Utility Service (NTIA/RUS) stated they were only to publish our 300 character description of our Broadband Stimulus project. Our description reads as follows:
"ShowMe Broadband will be a fixed wireless network, encompassing 13 rural counties boarding the New Madrid Fault Zone. We're in an area of geologic vulnerability, an emergency response challenge!"
However, in an email we received yesterday, the NTIA/RUS is now stating that they are now going to publish our three page Executive Summary, which gives more information to the public about our project.
We welcome and embrace this decision and we feel that it is compliant with the "openness" promised for the disbursement of these broadband stimulus funds.
Our Executive Summary can be found here: http://showmebroadband.com/exec.html
